If you do go for GPT-4, just be careful of this. Where other transcription services might fail, or give some implausible output which highlights that you need to check the source, ChatGPT might give a highly plausible but incorrect transcription from which you might not immediately identify that transcription has failed.
What’s funny is my son made an error in the arithmetic and ChatGPT corrected it - that was the hallucination.
If the original text is “I’m getting married on the 10th July”, you’ll know to check the handwritten note if it says “I’m getting married on the l@ July” but not necessarily if it says “on the 16th July”. ChatGPT seems to do the second quite often.
Which is understandable… :’)
I like the idea of doing it by speech recognition, or of chopping it up for privacy and then outsourcing that to humans at cost.
One thing I … Imagine … would help—is having a private web app where I could pull up a document and then make a voice recording on my phone.
Maybe I’ll put this together on my plane trip.
