+# Go bindings for Whisper
+
+This package provides Go bindings for whisper.cpp. They have been tested on:
+
+  * Darwin (OS X) 12.6 on x64_64
+  * Debian Linux on arm64
+  * Fedora Linux on x86_64
+
+The "low level" bindings are in the `bindings/go` directory and there is a more
+Go-style package in the `bindings/go/pkg/whisper` directory. The most simple usage
+is as follows:
+
+```go
+import (
+	"github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go/pkg/whisper"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	var modelpath string // Path to the model
+	var samples []float32 // Samples to process
+
+	// Load the model
+	model, err := whisper.New(modelpath)
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+	defer model.Close()
+
+	// Process samples
+	context, err := model.NewContext()
+	if err != nil {
+		panic(err)
+	}
+	if err := context.Process(samples, nil, nil, nil); err != nil {
+		return err
+	}
+
+	// Print out the results
+	for {
+		segment, err := context.NextSegment()
+		if err != nil {
+			break
+		}
+		fmt.Printf("[%6s->%6s] %s\n", segment.Start, segment.End, segment.Text)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Building & Testing
+
+In order to build, you need to have the Go compiler installed. You can get it from [here](https://golang.org/dl/). Run the tests with:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/whisper.cpp.git
+cd whisper.cpp/bindings/go
+make test
+```
+
+This will compile a static `libwhisper.a` in a `build` folder, download a model file, then run the tests. To build the examples:
+
+```bash
+make examples
+```
+
+To build using cuda support add `GGML_CUDA=1`:
+
+```bash
+GGML_CUDA=1 make examples
+```
+
+The examples are placed in the `build` directory. Once built, you can download all the models with the following command:
+
+```bash
+./build/go-model-download -out models
+```
+
+And you can then test a model against samples with the following command:
+
+```bash
+./build/go-whisper -model models/ggml-tiny.en.bin samples/jfk.wav
+```
+
+## Using the bindings
+
+To use the bindings in your own software,
+
+  1. Import `github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go/pkg/whisper` (or `github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/bindings/go` into your package;
+  2. Compile `libwhisper.a` (you can use `make whisper` in the `bindings/go` directory);
+  3. Link your go binary against whisper by setting the environment variables `C_INCLUDE_PATH` and `LIBRARY_PATH`
+     to point to the `whisper.h` file directory and `libwhisper.a` file directory respectively.
+
+Look at the `Makefile` in the `bindings/go` directory for an example.
+
