Hi colleagues,
I have an issue when using Whisper. It transcribes only around 30 seconds of audio. Is it a known limitation? How can I ask for the transcription of longer audio files?
Thanks
Best regards
Jerome

Can you please share how you deployed your version?
We published a blog post on how to deploy it, which includes examples with longer audio transcription: [Managed Transcription with OpenAI Whisper and Hugging Face Inference Endpoints](https://www.philschmid.de/whisper-inference-endpoints)

Hi Phil,
thanks for your reply. I have just used the inference API (not a specific endpoint deployed for my private usage). Maybe it is the reason. Need I deploy my own endpoint instead?
Thanks
Best regards
