Can't convert an audio file (.m4a) to a transcript
I asked ChatGPT to convert an audio file into a transcript. I began by asking Chat how to do it. It gave ne the following instructions which I followed to the letter. "Great question — here’s the short, clear answer: ✅ To get me to transcribe audio for you: All you need to do is upload the audio file directly in this chat (MP3, WAV, M4A, etc.).As soon as the file is uploaded, just say “Please transcribe this” — and I will generate the transcript. 📌 Important notes: - You do not need special formatting or commands. - You do not need to cut or copy the audio — just upload the file itself. - If the file is long, I can do a full transcript or a summarized version if you prefer. - If you want timestamps, speaker labels, or a cleaned-up transcript, just ask. Example: You: [Upload audio file]“Please transcribe this with timestamps every 30 seconds.” I’ll take care of the rest. If you want, you can try by uploading your audio file now. " After I followed the above instructions I recieved the below message. I tried mulitplple time to no avail. Can anyone help me hack this problem. It looks like the audio file was uploaded as a general file into the sandbox, not as an audio attachment, and I cannot run speech-to-text transcription from the Python environment (because Python here has no audio-to-text libraries and I cannot invoke the model’s built-in audio transcription on files stored only in /mnt/data). ✅ How to fix this so I can transcribe it Please re-upload the audio file directly into the chat as an audio message — the same way you would attach a photo or voice note. When you upload it that way, my built-in transcription will work instantly. 👉 After re-uploading, simply say: “Please transcribe this.” I will then produce a full, accurate transcript.
