Hi, has anyone started using speech to text model GPT-4o-transcribe using API yet? I understand this is conversation but I only want to use for speech to text. Any suggestions on alternative approaches and Any best practices tips? Thank you

Welcome to the community @saby Yes gpt-4o-transcribe can be used directly over the API for transcriptions and it comes with much higher quality transcriptions than whisper-1. It can be used for streaming transcriptions for both recorded audio and live-streaming audio .
