Streamlit Audio Transcription with OPENAI's Whisper Ai: An interactive Streamlit app demonstrating real-time audio transcription using OPENAI's Whisper Ai.
 Whisper Audio Transcription Streamlit App
This Streamlit application demonstrates the capabilities of OpenAI's Whisper ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) system.
Users can record or upload audio files in various formats and receive transcriptions generated by Whisper in real-time.
Transcriptions can be saved as text files and downloaded for further use.
## Features
* Record audio directly from the app's interface 
* Upload audio files in .mp3, .mp4, .wav, or .m4a format 
* Display transcriptions in real-time 
* Save and download transcriptions as text files
## Installation
Follow these steps to install and run the application:
1. Clone the repository
        git clone https://github.com/your-repo-url/streamlit-whisper-transcription.git
        cd streamlit-whisper-transcription
2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies
        python -m venv venv
        source venv/bin/activate # For Windows, use 'venv\Scripts\activate'
        pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Create a .env file in the project's root directory and add your OpenAI API key:
         OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

## Limitations and Disclaimer
This app is a demonstration of the potential of OpenAI's Whisper ASR system for audio transcription. The accuracy of the
transcriptions depends on various factors such as the quality of the audio file, the language spoken, and background
noise. The app is not intended for use in production environments and should be used for demonstration purposes only.
