Gamechanger: Can AI accurately transcribe primary source documents? | UVA Library

I take it all back. I just used Final Cut to transcribe another video, and I cannot believe how bad it is. Not just lots of missed words and wrong words, but correct words that are spelled incorrectly.

Sometimes where there should be a word, there is just the first letter of that word. Sometimes the correct word will be there, but a portion of the word is repeated. "Togetherther" for "together", for instance.

It is very weird and very unhelpful.

My father-in-law is secretary for an organization, and he needed help producing minutes from the Zoom recordings of meetings (the #AI in Zoom produced too-brief summaries rather than minutes).

After I realized Microsoft #transcription in Word would require posting the recordings to their cloud, I opted for a transcriber that could run on his laptop: Whisper Desktop (https://github.com/Const-me/Whisper).

It seems to work reasonably well, though the Whisper model, created by OpenAI, is known to insert its #hallucinations in its transcripts (https://fortune.com/2024/10/26/openai-transcription-tool-whisper-hallucination-rate-ai-tools-hospitals-patients-doctors/). I was quite surprised that the implementation I chose could even run on his very outdated i5 4300u laptop CPU (albeit running at far below real-time pace).

Have I just compromised my anti-LLM stance by setting up this transformer-based software to solve this transcription challenge?
