🧵 Best way to transcribe lectures?

Anonymous at Tue, 22 Oct 2024 09:47:44 UTC No. 16443874

Last week i started university and an older colleague (getting his second degree) suggested me to transcribe lectures. I'm trying to do it in the most low effort way possible, because i usually study on my notes so i don't really need the transcriptions.

What i do right now is:
-record the lecture
-get it transcribed by whisper AI
-Get it elaborated by chatGPT (corrects the errors that whisper does).

Whisper works quite well, but the last passage with chatGPT is a pain in the ass. It can't handle long prompts, so i have to divide the trascription in many samples, and the output is often wrong (it cuts out parts of the text even tough i specify to just correct errors and give me back the entire lenght of the text)

If you transcribe lectures too, please tell me your method. I'd like something more straight-forward on the elaboration of the text part. Ty.
