Transcribe audio files at up to a 400x real-time factor — that's 1 hour of audio in under 9 seconds. This setup requires meaningful production traffic to be cost-effective, but at scale it's at least 80% cheaper than OpenAI. Get in touch with us and we'll work with you to deploy a transcription pipeline that's customized to match your needs.
For quick deployments of Whisper suitable for shorter audio files and lower traffic volume, you can deploy Whisper V3 and Whisper V3 Turbo directly from the model library.
