Cleaning Up Speech Recognition with <span class="caps">GPT</span>

Apr 27, 2024 - blog.nawaz.org
The author discusses using GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) to transcribe and edit notes from real estate seminars. They initially used a speech recognition software, Nerd Dictation, to transcribe their handwritten notes, but found the output to be unsatisfactory due to lack of punctuation and capitalization, and occasional misrecognized words. They then decided to use GPT to correct and improve the initial draft produced by the speech recognition software.

The author found that GPT not only corrected the punctuation and capitalization errors, but also improved the overall quality of the writing. While GPT occasionally lost some information or made minor mistakes, the author stated that the effort required to correct these was significantly less than if they had not used GPT at all. They concluded that GPT allowed them to produce usable output from a subpar voice recognition tool, and are considering further integrating GPT into their transcription process.

Key takeaways:

  • The author uses a combination of speech recognition software and GPT to transcribe and clean up notes from real estate seminars.
  • The speech recognition software, Nerd Dictation, is basic and does not include punctuation or autocapitalization, leading to a rough initial draft.
  • GPT is then used to correct the text, add punctuation, replace spelled-out numbers with actual numbers, and correct misrecognized words.
  • While the system is not perfect and occasionally loses some information, it significantly reduces the effort required to transcribe and clean up the notes.
