About this episode
Last week was a big week for speech intelligence with OpenAI’s release of Whisper, an open-source speech recognition model. At Deepgram, we’re excited about Whisper’s end-to-end deep learning approach and the splash it made in speech tech, since we’ve been building speech models using end-to-end deep learning for nearly a decade. So what does Whisper mean for the future of artificial intelligence in speech? In this episode, we take a closer look at Whisper: its features and functionality, its limitations, the use cases it’s best suited for, and more.
Right now, you can try Whisper via the Deepgram API. Learn more here.
