Summary

OpenAI's Whisper is a new automatic speech recognition (ASR) model based on transformers and trained on 680,000 hours of audio data. Deepgram researchers have found that Whisper performs best with GPU access. Google Colab provides an ideal environment for testing Whisper without needing to configure it for GPU usage. A simple notebook has been set up in Google Colab to install Whisper, download audio from YouTube, transcribe the audio, playback segments for evaluation, and compute Word Error Rate (WER) for transcription accuracy. Users can easily upload their own files to test Whisper's performance.
