My personal anecdote: Parents recently sold their $1.5M+USD house (2021) to the owner of an online transcription/translation company (human staffed) -- an "expensive rich house" where they live. The free Whisper.app (works on Mac, including Intels) delivers the new homeowner's entire company product [transcription/translation] about 40x faster than real-time-playback, which is hundreds of times faster than any human employee could listen and translate. For FREE. I expect to see new owner's forclosure notice any moment. Certainly human worker(s) still check over the translations, but for most [potential] customers a perfect document is not necessary, particularly considering Whisper.app is FREE to use off-line [1]. An absolutely incredible piece of software — runs lighting fast on my M2Pro. [1] https://openai.com/research/whisper/ https://openai.com/research/whisper/
