I hate OpenAI but I had to use Whisper to help someone make accessible content. I hate that I had to use Whisper to do it because it comes from OpenAI.

But I don't know of any other way to get a text transcription from a media file that is free/open. (Besides doing it manually.)

I tell myself because it's for education and accessibility it's okay, but I still don't like it.
