One usecase that isn't mentioned here is call transcription. There are a lot of usecases where recording your own call and having some automated way to turn it into a transcript, and possibly generating some structured summary is a big time-saver. OpenAi's Whisper is the most accurate transcription model that I know of. The weights are open-sources, so it can be self-hosted, or you use the API. The downside is that you have to roll your own diarization (seperating the text between speaker A/B). I used pynote audio. Paid services like fireflies, and transcription tools built into your call software, are much easier to use, but lead to some transcription quality dropoff.
