Whisper
Whisper is a voice recognition model released by OpenAI. It was released for free and became the basis for subtitle creation tools.
This is a speech recognition model released for free by OpenAI that converts speech in various languages into text. Because it is an open model, anyone can download and use it, and it has become the foundation technology for numerous subtitle creation tools and dictation services.
