OpenAI releases Whisper v3, new generation open source ASR model

A few providers have done a variant of live transcription that's similar to how old-school providers do it, where they transcribe a short window (i.e. XXXms at a time) and this is definitely the easiest path. One such provider is Gladia: https://www.gladia.io/

There are other ways too with different trade-offs, can e-mail me at the link in my profile if you'd like to talk about how.

I've been looking for this. Thanks for the recommendation. I like startups where you can sign up, use it in seconds, integrate it in minutes.

(I am definitely inspired as we don't currently provide such a straightforward experience in our own signup flow)

I tried it in English, French, and my broken Spanish, and all 3 came out great. One surprising thing is that if you switch languages mid-transcription with the "single language" model, it will transcribe the second language and translate it at the same time, so the entire transcription is in a single language, but the meaning is preserved.

Thanks for the feedbacks sebastien, to preserve original language you can select "automatic multiple languages" it will perform code switching.
