Getting started with Whisper by OPENAI

Whisper is a cutting-edge speech recognition model developed by OpenAI in October 2022. Its primary purpose is to convert audio files into text with remarkable accuracy, supporting up to 99 languages, including Japanese. The model’s encoder was trained through a technique called weakly supervised learning, leveraging a vast dataset of over 68,000 hours of speech. This approach enabled the model to surpass the accuracy of traditional academic data sets.
