Hailo RT 5.3.0/Hailo Apps/Whisper Medium/Whisper Language Bug

Hi! A general question to the Hailo team (and just for information, not pressure :wink: ):

  1. Can you give a rough estimate, when a new Hailo Apps release supporting HailoRT 5.3.0 might be provided?
  2. Is there a chance, that you also provide the Whisper Medium model as HEF (or do you suggest to use a different approach/model for audio transcription)?
  3. If not and in general, can you take a look into the language bug in the Whisper Small model, as it is not usuable for non-English languages (see Automatic Speech Recognition Pipeline with Whisper model - #32 by user540)?

If interested, I am also happy to help testing (while I am not using the β€œvision” features yet).

Thank you!

Regards,
