I've had some success having ChatGPT-4o refine a transcription from another source first without any context, and then with the added step of doing its own transcription from the image. By itself, ChatGPT produces a so-so transcription; the ones I've done from Microsoft Azure Cognitive Vision are riddled with errors. But together, we've got a winner. Thanks for the hint of the technique to use one tool to refine the output of the other.
Brilliant. You saved me SO much time in transcribing! What was taking me 30 minutes per page of a journal, took me 3 minutes for the first page and I got faster at it. I did not need to venture into the GPT-4 function/coding. Yes, I did have to add some corrections, and account for missing or torn pages, but the job took so little time, I could go for a bike ride. So when people say they fear AI, I will say, yes but look at all the time it grants us.
That's great! I'm glad it was helpful!
