Transcribe with Whisper - File size issue

How To

Split mp3 file

Hi,
maybe not a new topic but one for which I am looking for a solution.

I have a simple automation to transcribe mp3 files.
Downloading File from Google Drive → Whisper → Google docs

The known problem is, that Whisper accepts only mp3 files up to 25mb. My files are usually between 60-100mb. Now I want to split them somehow before transcribing with a free or very cost efficient tool. I made some approaches with html integrations but did not succeed.
Would be happy if someone has a solution and can help me out:)
Thanks!

Hi @Luap_Nebar, welcome to the community. You can use Cloudinary Audio Transformations | Cloudinary to trim audio files by providing the timestamps and then send it to whisper for transcribing.
