Accessing OpenAI's Whisper Tool for Speech-to-Text (Full Transcript)

Speaker 1: Today, we're going to talk about how to access the OpenAI developer playground, which includes the Whisper technology, that's speech-to-text transcription technology. And I talk about it all the time in my videos. I've done some tutorials on how to access it. This video is going to be specific to how to access the Whisper tool offered by OpenAI. So the first thing that you need to know is that this is not a tool that you can access through the web app, the web version of ChatGPT. You are not going to go to that login. You're going to go to OpenAI.com, and then you are going to click Sign Up, and that's going to allow you to create a login. I already have a login, so I'm just going to go ahead and do that. And then once you're logged in, you're going to see a bunch of tools including, by the way, ChatGPT. What you want to do is click on API. This is going to take you into a screen which includes along the top bar this playground link. So this is kind of OpenAI's general web page where they're going to talk about how to build applications if you're a developer, how to build a plugin if you're a developer. There's some tutorials on how to develop on top of OpenAI's platform. We're not interested in that. What we're interested in here is the playground, so you're going to click on the playground. Once you get into the playground, you are going to maneuver over to this mode toggle, and you are going to click on Complete. Once you click on Complete, you can see here Speech-to-Text. This is the little icon you need to click on in order to enable Speech-to-Text, and it brings up this box. You can pretty much say whatever you want. You do not need to add punctuation. You just speak like normal, and this Speech-to-Text tool is going to transcribe everything that you say. Speech-to-Text is still three to five times faster than typing. You can see here that I just stopped the recording, and you're going to see unlike Siri, this is near-perfect transcription, so it gets everything right, so you can now cut and paste this as part of your prompting into ChatGPT, into Word documents, into emails, whatever it is that you feel like you're going to get value out of in terms of dictating into a Speech-to-Text tool and having it automatically transcribe for you in real time.
