Question
I tried to use ChatGPT to transcribe some audio files and it didn’t work. After doing some research, I found that I can use another OpenAI tool called Whisper but it looks too technical for me. Is there a simpler way to transcribe audio?

Answer
Hi T.W.,
Good news, the answer is yes and it is straightforward.
Use Gemini.
Specifically, follow these steps
-
- Open Google Gemini
- Upload your audio file
- Prompt Gemini to transcribe the audio file
- I.e. “transcribe the audio in the attachment verbatim”
- Wait for output
That’s it!
I tried it to make sure that it works and I had no issues. In case you do have issues, I will add that I uploaded an MP4 file, it was a 10MB file (~2 minutes of audio), I am using Gemini Pro, and the model that I am using is 2.5 Flash.
The main issues that I can see you having are using an unsupported files type and uploading a file that is too large.
Hope that helps
