OpenAI's Whisper: Reading the Fine Print

Deepgram offers a fully managed Whisper API that is faster, more reliable, and cheaper than OpenAI's. However, even with these improvements, Deepgram Nova is faster, cheaper, and more accurate than any Whisper model in the market (including their own). Beyond performance and cost, Whisper models lack critical features and functionality that can impede successful productization. Deepgram Smart Formatting is now available and delivers superior entity formatting results to OpenAI Whisper.
