- behnamoh 1y agoSure, but now the world is a better place because he shared something useful!
- 4b11b4 1y agoPre-processing of the audio still a valid biz, multiple types of pre-processing might be valid
- hn8726 1y agoOr openai will do it themselves for transcription tasks
- ilyakaminsky 1y agoI've already done that [1]. A fraction of the price, 24-hour limit per file, and speedup tricks like the OP's are welcome. :) [1] https://speechischeap.com https://speechischeap.com
- bravesoul2 1y agoNice. Don't expect you to spill the beans but is it doing OK (some customers?) Just wondering if I cam build a retirement out of APIs :)
- ilyakaminsky 1y agoIt's sustainable, but not enough to retire on at this point. > Just wondering if I cam build a retirement out of APIs :) I think it's possible, but you need to find a way to add value beyond the commodity itself (e.g., audio classification and speaker diarization in my case).
- satvikpendem 1y agoCan it do real-time transcription with diarization? I'm looking for that for a product feature I'm working on. Currently I've seen Speechmatics do this well, haven't heard of others.
- ilyakaminsky 1y agoNot yet. The gains in efficiency come from optimizing the speedup factor. Real-time audio cannot be processed any faster than 1× by definition.
