                The Whisper checkpoint to use with the pipeline. Must be an available checkpoint on the Hugging Face Hub
                with Flax weights.
            dtype (`jax.numpy.dtype`, *optional*, defaults to `jax.numpy.float32`):
                The data type of the computation. Can be one of `jax.numpy.float32`, `jax.numpy.float16` (on GPUs) and
                `jax.numpy.bfloat16` (on TPUs). This can be used to enable half-precision inference on GPUs or TPUs.
                If specified all the computation will be performed with the given `dtype`. **Note that this only
                specifies the dtype of the computation and does not influence the dtype of model parameters.**

                The batch size to be used in chunking transcription. Beneficial for transcribing long audio files. Passing
                a batch size in the `__init__` method will be superseded by any batch size passed to the `__call__` method.
            max_length (`int`, *optional*):
                The maximum numbers of tokens to generate. Defaults to `model.config.max_length`.

        Transcribe an audio input sequence to a text transcription, optionally with timestamps.

        Args:
            inputs (`np.ndarray` or `bytes` or `str` or `dict`):
                The inputs is either:
                    - `str` that is the filename of the audio file, the file will be read at the correct sampling rate
                      to get the waveform using *ffmpeg*. This requires *ffmpeg* to be installed on the system.
                    - `bytes` is the byte content of an audio file and is interpreted by *ffmpeg* in the
                      same way.
                    - (`np.ndarray` of shape (n, ) of type `np.float32` or `np.float64`)
                        Raw audio assumed to be at the correct sampling rate (16kHz). Note that no further sampling
                        rate check will be done.
                    - `dict` form can be used to pass raw audio sampled at arbitrary `sampling_rate` and let this
                      pipeline do the resampling. The dict must be in the format `{"sampling_rate": int, "array":
                      np.array}`. Optionally an additional argument `"stride": (left: int, right: int)` can be used to
                       ask the pipeline to treat the first `left` samples and last `right` samples to be ignored in
                       decoding (but used at inference to provide more context to the model). In general, this additional
                       stride argument is not required.
            chunk_length_s (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 30.0):
                The input length for each chunk. If `chunk_length_s = 0` then chunking is disabled. By default, the chunk
                length is set 30.0s, equal to Whisper's context window.
            stride_length_s (`float`, *optional*, defaults to `chunk_length_s / 6`):
                The length of stride on the left and right of each chunk. Used only with `chunk_length_s > 0`. This enables
                the model to *see* more context and infer letters better than without this context but the pipeline
                discards the stride bits at the end to make the final reconstitution as perfect as possible.

                <Tip>

                For more information on how to effectively use `stride_length_s`, refer to the [ASR chunking
                blog post](https://huggingface.co/blog/asr-chunking).

                </Tip>
            batch_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to the minimum per-device batch size, i.e. `jax.local_device_count()`):
                The batch size to be used in chunking transcription. Beneficial for transcribing long audio files. Passing
                a batch size in the `__call__` method will supersede any batch size passed to the `__init__`.
            task (`str`, *optional*):
                Task to use for generation, either `"transcribe"` or `"translate"`. Defaults to `"transcribe"`.
            language (`str`, *optional*):
                Language token to use for generation, can be either in the form of `"<|en|>"`, `"en"` or `"english"`.
                Defaults to `None`, meaning the language is automatically inferred from the audio input.
            return_timestamps (*optional*, `bool`):
                Whether to return timestamps in the prediction. Defaults to False. If set to true, the pipeline
                will return two keys in the output dictionary: `"text"` containing the text transcription, and `"chunks"`
                containing the transcription segments chunked by their utterance-level timestamps.

        Return:
            `Dict`: A dictionary with the following keys:
                - **text** (`str` ) -- The recognised text.
                - **chunks** (*optional(, `List[Dict]`)
                    When using `return_timestamps`, the `chunks` will become a list containing all the various text
                    chunks identified by the model, *e.g.* `[{"text": "hi ", "timestamps": (0.5,0.9), {"text":
                    "there", "timestamps": (1.0, 1.5)}]`. The original full text can roughly be recovered by doing
                    `"".join(chunk["text"] for chunk in output["chunks"])`.
