Transcription of Audio and Video with OpenAI’s Whisper
In late 2024, the Digital Initiatives team at Princeton Theological Seminary’s Wright Library turned to Whisper to add transcriptions to streaming resources in our freely accessible digital library, Theological Commons (https://commons.ptsem.edu).
Margarete Wilkey, Metadata Librarian, and Geoffrey D. Wood, Digital Library Technologist, co-wrote an article about their work doing transcription at Wright Library using OpenAI’s Whisper AI tool. The article was published in the most recent issue of Atla’s open access journal, TCB: Technical Services in Religion & Theology.
