Educational advice 

Teachers and students could convert audio script to text with the Whisper. The function is simple, but could be used in many scenarios. E.g. Transcripting a lecture recording to text, extracting audio tracks from videos and further transcripting to text. Text format might favor students with visual learning style and hence accommodate students with different learning needs. Also, text could be easily process with other AI-tools to create learning materials in other formats.
