Why OpenAI GPT for this

Word error rate on clean American English tells you nothing about your call centre in Coimbatore. We measure on your actual recordings.

OpenAI GPT is strongest at the widest tooling ecosystem and mature structured-output support. For speech recognition & transcription that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.

The honest trade-off: cost at scale, and a data-handling posture that some regulated buyers will not accept without an enterprise agreement. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

We are not a reseller for OpenAI and hold no commission on this choice. Where a different option fits your workload better, the recommendation will say so. That is the entire value of asking us.

What is included

  • Domain vocabulary tuning for your terminology
  • Speaker diarisation, who said what
  • Indian language and accent handling, including code-mixing
  • Timestamped output linked to the audio
  • Word error rate measured on your own recordings
  • Integration with your EMR, CRM or case system

Questions

How accurate is it for Indian accents?

Good and improving, but the honest answer depends on audio quality, accent and domain. We benchmark word error rate on your own recordings before you commit.

Can it separate speakers?

Yes, speaker diarisation labels who said what, which is essential for clinical, legal and contact-centre records.

Does the audio leave our environment?

Only if you allow it. We can deploy fully on-premise where confidentiality or regulation requires it.

Alternatives for speech recognition & transcription
