Ok, I signed up to Open AI GPT 4 because of Whisper. I needed to have an audio recording turned into a transcript. it turns out that Whisper cannot do it. I’m really irritated. There are so many other options out there, whoever is in charge of Whisper is not doing their job.
Welcome to the community.
Is it giving you an error?
It sounds like you might have subscribed to ChatGPT Plus. That’s just the web-based chatbot.
API is a separate service, with its own billing that needs to be set up, and prepayment purchase of credits required, as Whisper and other AI models are charged by the data use. $0.36/hour billed by the second, and you can automate hundreds of hours of audio through it in parallel.
It does seem like you are using ChatGPT. In my experience Whisper has ben an excellent program and I am thankful that Open AI released it to the public.
You can use it for free here: Playground - GroqCloud
You can also run it on your local machine by d/ling and installing it.
