Getting Started With OpenAI Whisper API In Python | Beginner Tutorial

In this lesson, we are going to learn how to use OpenAI Whisper API to transcribe and translate audio files in Python. OpenAI Whisper is an automatic speech recognition model, and with the OpenAI Whisper API, we can now integrate speech-to-text transcription functionality into our applications to translate or transcribe audio with ease.

Great video, thank you for this! And thank you for including closed captions!

Great video - but can you answer something? If you chunk and transcribe and your goal of this whole thing is to make subtitle files - how do you handle the timestamps for each transcription? Usually, if the video is 3 minutes long and you don't chunk it, you can get subtitles from WEBVTT easily. But if you make 3 chunks, each transcription starts from 0 to 1 minute. It can be rather confusing to merge the WEBVTTs and then make a unified SRT file. Would love a tutorial on this.

interesting! thanks for the explanation. i wish you explained how it could be done for real time transcribe by using a Mic instead of audio file

Why we can't use translate and transcribe in one python file

[sachaally]

I have some larger mp3 files that I have extracted from YouTube videos. I am using your chunking method in order to meet the file size requirements for the whisper app but I'm not sure how to create the vtt files on the individual chunks in a way that will allow me to reassemble all of the separate vtt files into a single file where the timing matches the original mp3 file before chunking. Do you have any code for this?

Thank you so much for this video. It's great!

Video seems great, but for us newbies, you might have to explain certain things... Like what is the blue screen that you typed in the api key and model id...

Hi all, i just followed the tutorial and it run an error out: exceeded your current But i only gave it a 10 sec. video. How come?

[endymion]

great tutorial! question: does it only translates to english? what would i have to change in the code to translate to other languages? thanks!!

[zubayerrahaman]

Great video! But I have a question. How do you run python code blocks in VS Code terminal? Is it some kind of extension?

[WolverineAndSloth]

Thank you for this video! Unfortunately i'm getting an error with the 'Audio.transcribe' method:

"AttributeError: type object 'Audio' has no attribute 'transcribe'" Does anyone happen to know what the problem is?

/edit: the problem was my outdated openai version. I was on 0.26, but you need 0.27.
