Continuing the conversation about using #whisper in #podcast production with @choochus

We've been talking about transcribing the backlog. Here's what I do with new shows (n=2, early days).

I record the show. I take the raw unedited file and run whisper on default small model. I use that to write show notes as I edit and put things together.

After mastering, I take the final show and run again on medium model. This is what I put in #Obsidian for future reference.

@geniodiabolico @choochus Any idea how #whisper stacks up against the transcription available in OtterAI? I’ve not yet compared the two, but wondering if anyone else has.

@AnthonyBaker @choochus Out of curiosity I'm running the test now on the podcast I published yesterday. Will let y'all know the results.

@AnthonyBaker @choochus Actually, I picked the wrong show. The one from January 20th I did on small, medium and large as a test. I'm running that one through Otter right now. When it is done, I will toot 500ish character snippets of all four. Anthony, I'm happy to transmit you the full files of each if you want them.

@geniodiabolico @choochus If it’s just one episode that’d be awesome. I’m looking to also switch to Whisper but the comparison was something I was definitely interested in. Thanks a ton!
