Tried out the model, great 👍 very good accuracy. Looking forward to the word level timestamp feature. It would enable our transcript based video editing at Visla.

Whisper is honestly one of the most impressive AI tools OpenAI has released. The transcription accuracy is insanely good, especially for different accents and noisy audio, and being able to run it locally is a huge plus for privacy. It’s not perfect though — it can occasionally hallucinate text, so I wouldn’t trust it blindly for medical/legal stuff. Setup can also feel a bit technical if you’re not familiar with AI tools or command-line workflows. But overall, it is something i would use on a daily basis.
