I'm curious if ChatGPT can generate transcripts from videos directly. Does it have the ability to process video or audio inputs to create text transcripts? Or is there a recommended way to use ChatGPT alongside other tools to achieve this?

There are AI models like OpenAI's Whisper that are designed specifically for speech recognition and transcription. Using Whisper first and then ChatGPT for analysis is the current best practice.
ChatGPT itself can't process video or audio files directly since it only handles text input. However, you can use a speech-to-text tool to convert the video's audio into text and then feed that text into ChatGPT for summarization or further processing.
I tried uploading a video here but ChatGPT didn't recognize it. So it seems it can't directly generate transcripts from videos yet.
