Description: Speech-to-text transcription using a native R 'torch'
        implementation of 'OpenAI' 'Whisper' model
        <https://github.com/openai/whisper>. Supports multiple model
        sizes from tiny (39M parameters) to large-v3 (1.5B parameters)
        with integrated download from 'HuggingFace'
        <https://huggingface.co/> via the 'hfhub' package. Provides
        automatic speech recognition with optional language detection
        and translation to English. Audio preprocessing, mel
        spectrogram computation, and transformer-based encoder-decoder
        inference are all implemented in R using the 'torch' package.
