    Whisper, a neural net that approaches human level robustness and accuracy on English speech recognition. Attached is transcriptions of the same voicemail with iOS vs Whisper. Available today as open-source: https://openai.com/... https://twitter.com/...
  • @rgblong Robert Long on x
    is there going to be a step-change in writing vs transcribing behavior soon? massive leap in convenience of transcription once you don't have to talk in a halting way and the accuracy is sufficiently high speech-to-text may become the default way of getting ideas down https://twi…

    this is huge — in addition to performing super well on accents, it also aces language switching too (like Hinglish)! https://twitter.com/...

    OpenAI just solved speech 2 text. According to the demo this AI is able to comprehend a fast voice in a popular commercial from the 90's. Also a thick scottish accent. The paper claims it can understand all kinds of accents due large training size. https://openai.com/...
  • @pytorch @pytorch on x
    Exciting! Clean ASR code and PyTorch models from @OpenAI. https://twitter.com/...
  • @iscienceluvr Tanishq Mathew Abraham on x
    Today, @OpenAI announced Whisper, an automatic speech recognition model. Plus, they released it open-source! Blog post → https://openai.com/... Research paper → https://cdn.openai.com/... Open-source code and models → https://github.com/... Quick thread about it (1/10) ↓ https://…
  • @marcelsalathe @marcelsalathe on x
    Impressive results! Surprise announcement: AI by OpenAI is now open. Thanks #stablediffusion 😉 https://twitter.com/...
  • @_dave__white_ Dave White on x
    permissionlessness has been one of the major accelerants of crypto, fueling innovation and enabling composability. stable diffusion has given us a taste of what it looks like in AI in recent months. today, @OpenAI released their latest model fully open source. buckle up. https://…

    Bravo 👏 Speech2Image anyone? https://twitter.com/...
  • @openai @openai on x
    We've trained a neural net called Whisper that approaches human-level robustness and accuracy on English speech recognition. It performs well even on diverse accents and technical language. Whisper is open source for all to use. https://t.co/ueVywYPEkK
  • @deliprao Delip Rao on x
    Love this new openness from Open AI. More of that please! haven't done WER on custom corpora, but the paper suggests significant improvements over wav2vec 2.0 large on benchmarks. That's a big deal. https://twitter.com/...
  • @sama Sam Altman on x
    near human-level speech recognition, open-sourced: https://openai.com/... (check out the examples, i find them difficult)

    @Techmeme @Kyle_L_Wiggers In its response to the USPTOffice, OpenAI acknowledges that the vast majority of content posted online is protected by U.S. copyright laws. https://www.uspto.gov/... They're using it as a 0-cost asset and selling it anyway. https://twitter.com/...
