> I used whisper to transcribe nearly every "episode" of the Love Line syndicated radio show from 1997-2007 or so.

Yes - second this. I found 'Whisper' great for that type of scenario as well.

A local monastery had about 200 audio talks (mp3). Whisper converted them all to text and GPT did a small 'smoothing' of the output to make it readable. It was about half a million words and only took a few hours.

The monks were delighted - they can distribute their talks in small pamplets / PDFs now and is extra income for the community.

Years ago as a student I did some audio transcription manually and something similar would have taken ages...

I actually was asked by Vermin Supreme to hand-caption some videos, and i instantly regretted besmirching the existing subtitles. I was correct, the subtitles were awful, but boy, the thought of hand-transcribing something with Subtitle Edit had me walking that back pretty quick - and this was for a 4 minute video - however it was lyrical over music, so AI barely gave a starting transcription.
