GPT4Audio offers integrated dictation models of varying sizes for different languages. While the supported languages and models differ from OpenAI’s Whisper and may not cover as many languages, GPT4Audio provides a unique dictation experience for users.

It’s important to note that only a select number of ‘Small’ models are included with the GPT4Audio installer due to the large size of ‘Large’ models, which often exceed 1GB.

The default model is the English Lightweight Small Model (40MB), which is included with the GPT4Audio installer. When users select a model from the “Dictation Language Model” combo box on the Application Ribbon, the application checks whether the chosen model is available on the user’s machine. If not, the application prompts the user to download the selected model.

Upon user acceptance, the model is downloaded, unzipped, and ready for use. The downloading and unzipping process may take some time, depending on the user’s internet connection speed.

Users can then click on either of the two buttons on the Application Ribbon (“Dictate to Screen and Audio File” or “Dictate to Screen Only”) and begin dictating into the microphone.

To stop dictation, users can click the “Stop Dictating” button on the Application Ribbon. The recording then stops, the recorded file is saved, and it appears in the Recordings Group in the Navigation Bar on the left.

Dictation can be saved in WAV or MP3 formats. Users can choose the recording format before starting the recording by clicking the Settings button on the Application Ribbon.

Like other files in the Navigation Bar, recorded files can be renamed or deleted.

GPT4Audio also includes playback functionality. Users can select a recorded file in the Recordings Group and click the Play button on the embedded player. Playback can be further controlled with Pause, Continue, Fast Forward (10 or 20 seconds), Rewind (10 seconds), or Full Rewind options.
