OpenAI has unveiled three new audio models through its API GPT4otranscribe, GPT4ominitranscribe, and GPT4ominitts. These models improve texttospeech and speechtotext capabilities, increasing accuracy and dependability even in difficult situations like loud surroundings or strong accents. Developed on top of GPT4o and GPT4omini, they perform better than OpenAIs earlier Whisper models. Developers can now develop applications with agentic workflows, allowing for the automation of customer support and creative storytelling. Although the texttospeech model only enables preset voices, it offers emotional expressiveness and customisable inflexions. With these developments, voice agents should become more flexible and intuitive. These models have also been incorporated into OpenAIs Agents SDK, which makes creating audioenabled apps easier. Through OpenAIs API, developers can access the models. Read More..
