Re:Ask HN: How to transcribe a couple thousand calls per day? by solardev on Wednesday September 04, 2024 @04:18PM (#41450280)
Does it have to use Whisper? If so, can't you just run it on that server instead of the Mac? https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/1463

If it doesn't, there are a bunch of other speech recognition APIs. Most of them use older techs but might be good enough: https://www.gladia.io/blog/openai-whisper-vs-google-speech-t...

Personally I found Otter.ai works really well for the transcription part, but they don't have an API: https://otter.ai

You can also just upload them all to YouTube in a private playlist and it'll automatically transcribe them for you.
