Speech to Blog Post Generator

This tool takes a speech input and drives it through OpenAPI's Whisper API to transcribe the speech into text. The text is then fed into OpenAI's GPT-4 model to generate a blog post.

See an example!

This is a blog post generated by this tool:

https://thejunkland.com/blog/speech-to-blogpost.html

Note the original audio file that's also included in the blog post.

Getting started

You can use the tool from command line.

yarn
yarn start speech-input.mp3 blog-post-output.md

This installs the project's dependencies and runs the tool against the given input audio file speech-input.mp3 and outputs the blog post to blog-post-output.md.

Prerequisites

You need an API key for OpenAI's Whisper API and GPT-4 API. You can get these by registering at the OpenAI's website. Note that both Whisper and GPT-4 are paid APIs (although they're super cheap).

Create a file called .env in the root of the project and add the following line:

OPENAI_TOKEN=your-token-here

Alternatively, you can set the OPENAI_TOKEN environment variable.

Using a hosted version

If you don't have access to GPT-4 API, you can use a hosted micro-SaaS version of this tool:

Features

This project aims to be a tool that:

• Makes it easy to generate blog posts when you don't have access to keyboard
• Demonstrates state-of-the-art AI capabilities (as of 2023)
• Makes my life easier

About the logo

The logo of this project was created using DALL·E, with the prompt:

Icon for app that creates blog posts from speech, dribble, concept art, iOS

The generated result was then polished by hand with Inkscape.
