OpenAPI Whisper

A quick post (before I sign off for the night) on speech recognition, video/audio transcription, and related productivity tools. Though not new, tools like OpenAI Whisper are still a joy to use.

Lately, I've been using OpenAI Whisper to transcribe videos I’ve watched, or wanted to watch but didn’t have the time to fully digest. I’ve automated the process: download the video, transcribe it, catalog and tag the output. This sets me up to revisit and apply what I’ve learned when the time’s right.

In my work

I’m always looking for ways to increase leverage, focus, reduce friction, and make better decisions faster. Tools like Whisper are part of that toolkit. Whether I’m reviewing internal talks, customer interviews, or recorded meetings, having clean, searchable transcripts means I can extract insights without burning time. It’s a simple shift, but it compounds. Better input, clearer thinking, faster output.

In my personal life

On a more personal note, though I’ve been productizing this, too. I’ve been working hard to understand myself. That means learning from people I admire, and slowly incorporating their values into my own evolving philosophy and action plan. AI has helped distill that input into something useful. I've built a detailed profile of where I am, and the next steps I need to take to grow.
