How does this make a profit? Whisper should be $0.006 to $0.010 per minute, but you rate less than $0.001? Do you 10x the audio?

Thanks for noticing. It took a lot of effort to optimize the pipeline every step of the way. VAD, inference server, hardware optimization, etc. But nothing that would compromise on quality. The audio is currently transcribed in its original speed. I'll be sure to publish something if I manage to speed it up without incurring any losses to the WER.
