Whisper is speech-to-text. VibeVoice is text-to-speech.

There is a text-to-speech version of whisper, but IMHO the quality is much worse than the demos of this model.

Are you referring to this?

Or is there some OpenAI official Whisper TTS?

Yep, nothing official that I know, but that one is fairly popular so maybe they were referring to it (although AFAIK it's not frontier?)

I stand corrected
