OpenAI can hear you Whisper

Speech recognition remains a challenge in artificial intelligence, but OpenAI's latest move takes us one step closer to solving it. The software is an automatic speech recognition (ASR) system trained on 680.000 hours of multilingual and multitask supervised data from the web. Other organizations like Google, Meta and Amazon have all tried to design ASR-systems that lie at the core of many products. OpenAI now could outperform every one of those ASR-systems. What makes this new software different is the robustness against background noises, accents and technical terminology.
