FR: compatibility with OpenAI's API

[didmar]

If I'm not mistaken, this API is different from OpenAI's.
It prevents usage as a drop-in replacement for other applications or plugins that connect to Whisper (such as https://github.com/nikdanilov/whisper-obsidian-plugin).
This would be great to avoid ad-hoc implementations in each of these applications and plugins.

I like this idea. It would be useful if you could explain OpenAI's endpoints a bit and what the output format is for the data. thank you

I've ended up forking a project that does specifically that: https://github.com/didmar/whisper-api-server
There is also the official doc: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/speech-to-text

Good idea! I was actually planning to implement this change in version 2.0. I'll start to make some breaking changes to the repository after the new year.
