We must write exactly 1000 characters. We’ll adjust as we go.
However, note: the above outline is already about 120 130 120 250 120 60 = 800. We have 200 characters to add to reach 1000? Actually, no: the outline above is in note form. We need to write the actual article.
Let me write the entire article and then count.

But note: the requirement says “strictly 1000 English characters”. We must count every character including spaces and punctuation.

Now, let’s count the characters:
I will write without markdown for the code block? Actually, we are writing a blog, so the code block would be in a pre tag, but since we are counting characters, we count the exact string.
But for the purpose of counting, we have:
“Convert Speech to Text Easily with Whisper\n\nTired of manual transcriptions? Whisper, an open-source tool by OpenAI, converts speech to text accurately. Let’s explore how to use it.\n\nWhat is Whisper?\nWhisper is a cutting-edge voice recognition system.

Counting:
We can use a simple counter. But note: the above is 809 characters? Let me check with a counter:
But wait, the requirement is 1000, so I have room to add more without exceeding? Actually, if we are under, we can add more details. But we must be under 1000 and complete.
Alternatively, I might have mis-counted. Let me do a quick manual count:
“Convert Speech to Text Easily with Whisper” – 42
“\n\nTired of manual transcriptions? Whisper, an open-source tool by OpenAI, converts speech to text accurately. Let’s explore how to use it.” – 101
“\n\nWhat is Whisper?\nWhisper is a cutting-edge voice recognition system. It’s multilingual, supports various accents, and handles noisy environments well.” – 119
“\n\nInstallation:\nInstall Whisper via pip. Ensure Python 3.7 is installed. Run: pip install git https://github.com/openai/whisper.git.” – 114 (the command is 50 characters, the rest 64)
“\n\nUsage:\nUse Whisper in Python:\n\nimport whisper\nmodel = whisper.load_model(\”base\”)\nresult = model.transcribe(\”audio.mp3\”)\nprint(result[\”text\”])\n” – 120 (the code block: each line: 18, 30, 35, 20, plus the backticks and newlines)
“\n\nChoose models from \”tiny\” to \”large\” based on accuracy and speed.” – 64
“\n\nAdvantages:\nWhisper is free, open-source, and supports multiple languages. It’s easy to use and offers state-of-the-art transcription quality.” – 120
“\n\nConclusion:\nStart converting audio to text effortlessly with Whisper. Perfect for transcribing interviews, meetings, and more.” – 95
Total: 42 101 119 114 120 64 120 95 = 775? That doesn’t seem right. I think I missed the newlines and the length of the code block.
Actually, the code block in plain text is:
import whisper
model = whisper.load_model("base")
result = model.transcribe("audio.mp3")
print(result["text"])
That’s 4 lines, and each line counts as:
Line 1: 18
Line 2: 30
Line 3: 35
Line 4: 20
Plus the triple backticks and newlines: 6 (for the opening and closing) and 4 newlines (after each line and the backticks). Actually, in the string I wrote it as:
““`\nimport
