Whisper
Whisper is OpenAI's speech-to-text model available through its API that has become a widely-used baseline for automatic speech recognition tasks. Recent coverage shows Whisper competing with newer open-source ASR models in accuracy benchmarks, while also being optimized through techniques like speculative decoding for faster inference and integrated into production systems via platforms like Hugging Face and Together AI for real-time voice applications.
