Tips for Turning Audio into Text Using ChatGPT

I found that if you use a speech-to-text API before ChatGPT, it works great. ChatGPT is way better at understanding context once you have raw text.

Sometimes just typing what you hear is faster than waiting on transcription tools, but yeah that’s not ideal for long files.

For simple clips, Google's speech-to-text is pretty decent and fast. After that, ChatGPT makes the text much more readable.

Using external transcription first is definitely the way to go. ChatGPT shines more when you want to clean up or get summaries from text.

Google docs voice typing + ChatGPT for editing is my go-to. It’s free and pretty accurate for many use cases.

Does anyone know if ChatGPT can transcribe live voice or is it just text-based input?

Honestly, I just play the audio out loud and use ChatGPT's dictation feature on my phone. Kinda hacky, but works when you don't have other tools.

Would love to see ChatGPT get built-in transcription one day! That’d be a game changer for sure.

If you wanna do this regularly, maybe look into automated pipelines combining transcription APIs and ChatGPT scripting.

I've tried uploading audio clips to ChatGPT directly but it seems like it doesn't handle them natively. Usually, I convert the audio to text with other apps first, then feed the text here for editing or summarizing.

You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that might help with this kinda stuff. They have some fresh picks for audio transcription.

I tried those new voice features in the ChatGPT app but it’s not the same as feeding an audio file for transcription.

I tried uploading audio in some ChatGPT chats and got errors. Guess it’s not supported yet.

I did hear some rumors about new plugins for ChatGPT that might handle audio soon. Anyone knows if that’s out yet?
