OpenAI has released Whisper, a general-purpose speech recognition model, which marks a significant milestone for voice intelligence. Deepgram, a company that has been working on end-to-end deep learning for speech for over four years, congratulates OpenAI and shares the belief that voice intelligence is one of the most important areas of research in AI. To support this vision, Deepgram now offers Whisper as an additional model hosted by their API, making it available to anyone without requiring a sign-up. This collaboration between Deepgram and OpenAI highlights the growing importance of voice intelligence and its potential impact on various industries.
