+class WhisperAI:
+    """
+    Wrapper class for the Whisper speech recognition model with additional functionality.
+
+    This class provides a high-level interface for transcribing audio files using the Whisper
+    speech recognition model. It encapsulates the model instantiation and transcription process,
+    allowing users to easily transcribe audio files and iterate over the resulting segments.
+
+    Usage:
+    ```python
+    whisper = WhisperAI(model_args, transcribe_args)
+
+    # Transcribe an audio file and iterate over the segments
+    for segment in whisper.transcribe(audio_path):
+        # Process each transcription segment
+        print(segment)
+    ```
+
+    Args:
+    - model_args: Arguments to pass to WhisperModel initialize method
+        - model_size_or_path (str): The name of the Whisper model to use.
+        - device (str): The device to use for computation ("cpu", "cuda", "auto").
+        - compute_type (str): The type to use for computation.
+            See https://opennmt.net/CTranslate2/quantization.html.
+    - transcribe_args (dict): Additional arguments to pass to the transcribe method.
+
+    Attributes:
+    - model (faster_whisper.WhisperModel): The underlying Whisper speech recognition model.
+    - transcribe_args (dict): Additional arguments used for transcribe method.
+
+    Methods:
+    - transcribe(audio_path): Transcribes an audio file and yields the resulting segments.
+    """
