TOHA 2023 Conference Workshop

A Whisper Worthy of a Loud Roar: Exploring the Latest Entrant in the World of Automated Transcription

In recent years there have been massive technological advances and market expansions in the automated speech-to-text sector, such that it can be a bit overwhelming to even choose a platform these days for experimentation. In this workshop, Steven Sielaff and Josh Been from Baylor University will provide an overview of the software suites available to the curious oral historian to aid them in their transcription tasks, as well as practical, researched examples of how they perform in the “real world” of oral history processing. In addition, participants will be given an introduction to the sector’s most exciting new player: Whisper from OpenAI. Those who attend the workshop will be provided a crash course on how to use Whisper, as well as the materials and instruction needed to download and install the service. Because of this, we encourage all workshop participants to bring a laptop (Windows or Mac), as Whisper only requires a local computer to run on (no logins, accounts, or external server connections) and is open-source software, meaning that it is free to use as well!
