Provider Notes
Whisper 1 alone supports translation plus SRT/VTT and word/segment timestamp granularities. GPT-4o Transcribe and GPT-4o Mini Transcribe support JSON/text, prompting, logprobs, and completed-audio SSE. GPT-4o Transcribe Diarize is the only diarization model and uses chunking plus optional known-speaker references; it does not accept prompt or timestamp granularities. GPT-Realtime-Whisper is a separate realtime-only model fixed to mono 24 kHz PCM16.
