Frequently Asked Questions
What is OpenAI Whisper API Transcription best at?
Each ASR model has a sweet spot — language coverage, latency, noise robustness, or domain specialty. AudioToTextAI exposes OpenAI Whisper API Transcription alongside several others so you can pick per-job rather than commit globally. The /models/ index summarises strengths and benchmark results.
How do I pick OpenAI Whisper API Transcription for a transcription?
Choose OpenAI Whisper API Transcription from the model dropdown in the upload form, or pass `model=openai_whisper_api_transcription` in the REST API request. If you don't pick one, AudioToTextAI auto-selects based on language and audio characteristics.
Does diarization work with OpenAI Whisper API Transcription?
Yes. Diarization runs as a separate stage on the same audio, so any ASR model — including OpenAI Whisper API Transcription — combines with speaker labels, word timestamps, summaries, and translation.
How fast is OpenAI Whisper API Transcription?
Most modern models process at <1/10th real time on our GPU infrastructure. OpenAI Whisper API Transcription sits in that range; specifics depend on file length and concurrent load. The longer a file is, the better our parallelism amortises overhead.
