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.

Join us for a hackathon where we will be using OpenAI Whisper to create innovative solutions! Whisper is a neural net that has been trained to approach human level robustness and accuracy for English speech recognition. We will be using this tool to create applications that can transcribe in multiple languages, as well as translate from those languages into English. This will be a great opportunity for you to learn more about speech processing and to create some useful applications!
