                        condition_on_previous_text), 2 - Invalidate the cached encoder output (if no_speech_threshold
                        is not None). Arg meant to combat cases where the model is getting stuck in a failure loop or

  --min_dist_to_end {0,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}
                        (requires --sentence) If from words like 'the', 'Mr.' and ect. to the end of line distance is
                        less than set then it starts in a new line. Note: 0 = disabled. (default: 0)
  --prompt_max {16,32,64,128,223}
                        (experimental) The maximum size of prompt. (default: 223)
  --reprompt {0,1,2}    (experimental) 0) Disabled. 1) Inserts initial_prompt after the prompt resets. 2) Ensures that
                        initial_prompt is present in prompt for all windows/chunks. Note: auto-disabled if
                        initial_prompt=None. It's similar to 'hotwords' feature. (default: 2)
  --prompt_reset_on_no_end {0,1,2}
                        (experimental) Resets prompt if there is no end of sentence in window/chunk. 0 - disabled, 1 -
                        looks for period, 2 - looks for period or comma. Note: it's auto-disabled if reprompt=0.
                        (default: 2)
  --ff_dump             Dumps pre-processed audio by the filters to the 16000Hz file and prevents deletion of some
                        intermediate audio files. (default: False)
  --ff_track {1,2,3,4,5,6}
                        Audio track selector. 1 - selects the first audio track. (default: 1)
  --ff_fc               Selects only front-center channel (FC) to process. (default: False)
  --ff_mp3              Audio filter: Conversion to MP3 and back. (default: False)
  --ff_sync             Audio filter: Stretch/squeeze samples to the given timestamps, with a maximum of 3600 samples
                        per second compensation. Input file must be container that support storing PTS like mp4,
                        mkv... (default: False)
  --ff_rnndn_sh         Audio filter: Suppress non-speech with GregorR's SH model using Recurrent Neural Networks.
                        Notes: It's more aggressive than Xiph, discards singing. (default: False)
  --ff_rnndn_xiph       Audio filter: Suppress non-speech with Xiph's original model using Recurrent Neural Networks.
                        (default: False)
  --ff_fftdn [0 - 97]   Audio filter: General denoise with Fast Fourier Transform. Notes: 12 - normal strength, 0 -
                        disabled. (default: 0)
  --ff_tempo [0.5 - 2.0]
                        Audio filter: Adjust audio tempo. Values below 1.0 slows down audio, above - speeds up. 1.0 =
                        disabled. (default: 1.0)
  --ff_gate             Audio filter: Reduce lower parts of a signal. (default: False)
  --ff_speechnorm       Audio filter: Extreme and fast speech amplification. (default: False)
  --ff_loudnorm         Audio filter: EBU R128 loudness normalization. (default: False)
  --ff_silence_suppress noise duration
                        Audio filter: Suppress quiet parts of audio. Takes two values. First value - noise tolerance
                        in decibels [-70 - 0] (0=disabled), second value - minimum silence duration in seconds [0.1 -
                        10]. (default: [0, 3.0])
  --ff_lowhighpass      Audio filter: Pass 50Hz - 7800 band. sinc + afir. (default: False)
