+# addon
+
+This is an addon demo that can **perform whisper model reasoning in `node` and `electron` environments**, based on [cmake-js](https://github.com/cmake-js/cmake-js).
+It can be used as a reference for using the whisper.cpp project in other node projects.
+
+## Install
+
+```shell
+npm install
+```
+
+## Compile
+
+Make sure it is in the project root directory and compiled with make-js.
+
+```shell
+npx cmake-js compile -T whisper-addon
+```
+
+For Electron addon and cmake-js options, you can see [cmake-js](https://github.com/cmake-js/cmake-js) and make very few configuration changes.
+
+> Such as appointing special cmake path:
+> ```shell
+> npx cmake-js compile -c 'xxx/cmake' -T whisper-addon
+> ```
+
+## Run
+
+```shell
+cd examples/addon.node
+
+node index.js --language='language' --model='model-path' --fname_inp='file-path'
+```
+
+Because this is a simple Demo, only the above parameters are set in the node environment.
+
+Other parameters can also be specified in the node environment.
