The voice-to-text model launched by OpenAI

What is gpt-4o-mini-transcribe?

gpt-4o-mini-transcribe is a speech-to-text model launched by OpenAI, and it is a lightweight version of gpt-4o-transcribe. Based on the GPT-4o-mini architecture, gpt-4o-mini-transcribe utilizes knowledge distillation technology to transfer capabilities from larger models, achieving a smaller model size and higher operational efficiency. It is suitable for running on resource-constrained devices (such as mobile devices or embedded systems) and meets the requirements of applications with high real-time demands. gpt-4o-mini-transcribe is priced at $0.003 per minute, offering high cost-effectiveness.

The main functions of gpt-4o-mini-transcribe

• Efficient Voice Transcription: Quickly and accurately convert voice signals into text.
• Real-time Support: Capable of processing real-time voice streams, suitable for scenarios requiring instant feedback.
• High-performance Transcription: Precisely capture subtle differences in speech to reduce transcription errors.

The Technical Principles of gpt-4o-mini-transcribe

• Knowledge Distillation Technology: Leveraging knowledge distillation technology, the knowledge and performance of GPT-40 Transcribe are transferred to smaller models, maintaining high speech transcription performance. Through distillation, the model achieves high accuracy while reducing computational resource consumption and model size, making it suitable for deployment on resource-constrained devices such as mobile devices or embedded systems.
• Transformer-Based Architecture: Based on a Transformer architecture, the self-attention mechanism efficiently processes speech sequence data, capturing long-distance dependencies and contextual information in speech signals. This enhances transcription accuracy and semantic understanding capabilities.
• Speech Activity Detection and Noise Cancellation: Integrated speech activity detection technology automatically identifies the effective speech portions of audio signals, avoiding unnecessary processing of silence or background noise. Combined with noise cancellation technology, background noise is filtered out, allowing the model to focus more on the user’s speech content, thereby improving transcription accuracy and reliability.
