Whisper integration: speech-to-text in your app
Whisper integration means an audio file or a recording from your app becomes text in your database — with a timestamp and a user on it. It is one of the AI features that actually saves time in the field: a tradesperson dictates on the way from the job. A technician closes a call. Clinic-adjacent notes, if you have a legal basis. The text is a draft until a human hits approve. Whisper mishears jargon. A “15 mm” that becomes “50 mm” must not land straight in the quote. Live transcription is a different project from “after recording”. GDPR: delete the audio after X days if you only need the text.

Whisper is OpenAI’s speech-to-text. It is not the same socket as GPT drafts. The other direction — text to speech — is ElevenLabs. AI in the field, not on the homepage.
Design it as a draft
Jargon, measurements and SKUs are where Whisper fails. A wrong millimetre in a quote costs more than the hour you saved on dictation. The approve button is the product.

Operations
- File size and timeout — a 40-minute recording is a different job from 40 seconds
- Delete audio after X days if you only need the text
- Language set to da when you know it — fewer hallucinations on code names
- A legal basis before clinic-adjacent or staff conversations are recorded
Record
The app stores the file with you, not in a random cloud folder.
Transcribe
Whisper runs with language da when you know it.
Approve
A human fixes jargon before the text is truth.
Delete audio
If you only need to search the text, the audio should not live forever.
What to do now
Record one real close-out from the field (with consent). If the text is usable after five minutes of edits, you have a case. Send us the kind of recording you have.
