OpenAI Whisper

OpenAI Whisper is the transcription engine I used to power the clone, because it’s reliable and straightforward to call via API. You’ll need an API key, and you’ll pay for usage, but in practice it can be significantly cheaper than a fixed monthly subscription if you’re not a heavy user.

Pros

+Solid transcription quality via API
+Easy to integrate into a desktop workflow
+Pay-as-you-go can be cheaper than subscriptions

Cons

-Requires managing an API key
-Token costs can add up with very heavy usage
