The blog post details a new approach to transcribing user audio in real-time using the OpenAI Realtime model for out-of-band transcription. This method utilizes the same websocket connection for live audio interaction, reducing transcription errors commonly seen with separate models. Key features include:
- Context-aware transcription that leverages the entire session’s context for enhanced accuracy.
- Non-intrusive processing that prevents the transcriptions from impacting the live conversation state.
- Customizable transcription prompts allowing adjustments for specific user needs.
The post emphasizes the advantages of using the Realtime model, including minimized mismatch between audio input and generated responses, greater steering flexibility, and improved accuracy, although at a higher cost compared to traditional ASR models. It provides setup requirements, configuration details, and code snippets for implementation.
