"UDL team on OpenAI Whisper Hackathon Hackathon"

Voice messages are becoming a more and more common way to communicate, it offers people something faster than typing and sometimes you can’t talk in real time, so a call isn’t an option. But it also has downsides, many times you are in a crowdy place and are not able to listen to voice messages, but what if you will miss something important? Don’t worry, we got your back. During this hackathon, we developed a bot for a popular messenger Telegram that uses Whisper by Open AI to transcribe voice messages. You can just forward a voice message from a sender to a bot, and you will get textual transcriptions in seconds. And it also works for as many languages as Whisper support. We hope that such a simple tool can help more people to be comfortable communicating.
