Why is there no proper Documentation for Whisper?

There are a few different functions in 'Whisper' with multiple combinations of arguments. I imagine this will continue to grow.

Why is there not a detailed documentation webpage for the same? It can be a Markdown file but what is currently available seems inadequate for non-regular users.

OpenAI's web API has that sort of documentation, but of course you also need to pay to use it. I guess that income helps to fund technical writers to prepare such documentation.

This open source Whisper project on the other hand is free, and probably the focus is more on making maintenance easier for the developers (by making surface area smaller) rather than making it user friendly.

There are many well-maintained open-source documentation projects.
I hope we see some efforts made towards this in the future. I'm sure many contributors would like to join (me included) but are unable to start on their own.
