OpenAI provides two key models for handling audio: Whisper for transcription and TTS for speech synthesis. Each model has unique features that makes it suitable for different tasks.

Whisper

The Whisper model is designed for speech-to-text transcription and translation. It supports multiple languages and can transcribe audio into the original language or translate it into English.

Text-to-Speech (TTS)

The TTS model converts text into natural-sounding speech. It supports multiple voices and can produce high-quality audio suitable for various apps.

Accessibility

To improve accessibility, you can offer transcription services that convert spoken content into text for the deaf and hard of hearing. Additionally, real-time translation of spoken content into English enables a broader audience to access the information.

Interactive Apps

In interactive apps, you can create voice assistants that understand spoken commands and respond with natural-sounding speech. Language tutors can be developed to provide spoken feedback and corrections based on the user’s spoken input. Further, you can automate the narration of written content, such as blogs or articles, in a natural and engaging voice.
