Is there anyway to get whisperx working on a 2020 mbp intel i5 on 8gb RAM no gpu? about whisperx

Too generic query. It has been working fine on CPUs, even on Android (sic).

Provide the neofetch results, the module versions, the errors...

Do you have a link to reference implementations on Android?

This project is the 'reference implementations on Android'. In very short:

1. Run pip install -v https://github.com/m-bain/whisperX/
2. Look for the (multiple) errors.
3. For each error, git clone the submodule, including whisperX itself, and tinker with:
   A. Its requirements.txt etc.
   B. Find if a compiled version does exist, via:
   pkg list-all |grep ...., e.g. python-numpy/stable,now 1.26.4-1 aarch64 [installed]
   C. Install B, if it makes sense to get the missing submodule, as per A. If not, comment it out or make it ignore version checks (e.g. the av module).
4. Enjoy: ~ $ uname -a Linux localhost 4.14.186+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Mar 17 16:28:22 CST 2022 aarch64 Android ~ $ pip show whisperx Name: whisperx Version: 3.1.3 Summary: Time-Accurate Automatic Speech Recognition using Whisper. Home-page: https://github.com/m-bain/whisperx Author: Max Bain Author-email: License: MIT Location: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages Requires: faster-whisper, nltk, pandas, pyannote.audio, setuptools, torch, torchaudio, transformers
   If that fails (very likely, as you need to learn the gcc switches etc, too, to compile most, especially ctranslate2), then:
5. Use termux-proot, e.g. /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/proot-distro login debian --shared-tmp
6. Then just Point 1 and pray.
7. Some Points 2 for good measure: apt list with grep
8. Get: OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) aarch64 Host: realme RMX3085 Kernel: 6.2.1-PRoot-Distro and a whisperx that works, also see Point 4.
