audio_file = open("D:\\RECORDER\\FOLDER_B\\231006_0251.MP3", "rb")
transcript = client.audio.transcriptions.create(
  model="whisper-1",
  file=audio_file,
  response_format="text"
)

chainofdensity = """Link to the Prompt Above"""

response = client.chat.completions.create(
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo-1106",
  messages=[
    {"role": "system", "content": chainofdensity},
    {"role": "user", "content": transcript},
  ]
)
print(transcript)
print(response)
