I’m trying to run this example:

> **[openai/whisper-small · Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/openai/whisper-small)**
>
> We’re on a journey to advance and democratize artificial intelligence through open source and open science.

And gettint error:

> ImportError: cannot import name ‘WhisperProcessor’ from ‘transformers’

Environment:

> python = 3.8  
> torch = 1.13.1+cu117  
> torchaudio = 0.13.1+cu117  
> transformers = 4.19.2

How can I use hugging face whisper model ?

Hi! Can you try updating your version of Transformers and see if that helps?
