This is so wrong it needs to be taken offline. The Translations aren’t even close and that’s dangerous.
I seriously looked into doing this myself, but for this reason and costs I bailed.
Transcribed police scanners in real-time

Re: Transcribed police scanners in real-time
#102I didn't see where anyone pointed this out but scanners are only one way emergency services communicate and they also know people are listening in.
More often than not the important conversations are communicated over the phone.
It is also important to note that since these agencies know that civilians listen in it can become a way to intentionally misinform the listeners.

Hi lunixbochs! Your prototype is amazing! The quality of transcription is definitely better than ours via Google. After we did some legal research we wanted to avoid storing the recordings and rather solely transcription text. Giving access to a platform for humans to verify the transcriptions and in turn train the model is a great idea. I have started working on getting some pre-trained models set up. I am trying to…
I have the same setup as Broadcastify Calls (trunkrecorder) and a site built to play each audio recording then allow the user to provide what they heard. I used it to train some public safety specific models on Kaldi and Sphinx. I have 30ish streams and keep 6 days worth, I could keep longer if you'd like to work together on this. I reached out to some of the people above, the Broadcastify guy for example, and they a…
This sounds awesome - If you have any documentation up on how to do this, I would love to point to it from the trunk-recorder wiki.

#104Developer of murph.live here again - after reading this thread I have some ideas I'd like to vet with everyone here. 1. We need to post links to the source of the stream. I neglected to do that for fear of cease and desist, but now I realize we need to create accountability on our own platform. I will be contacting broadcastify.com to ensure we can direct users to a source. 2. We need a disclaimer on the site directl…

Maybe https://www.deepgram.com can help with a custom speech-to-text model?

I have a generic English ASR model for ESPnet (https://github.com/espnet/espnet) trained on multiple various datasets and would be happy to provide it. If you send me few audio samples, I can give it a try. You can contact me pavel.denisov@gmx.de.

Criminals
I hear people say this from time to time, but I don't think I've ever heard anything actually said on a scanner that would be plausibly useful to a criminal.
Not true, police communications can be a gold mine of information sometimes.
Name, address, date of birth, social security number, identifying features i.e. height, weight, hair color, etc.
Don't underestimate how valuable this information can be.
Not to mention the movements of police resources and personnel.
All said published over the wire, anyone can hear with the right hardware/software.

#108Speaking of which, does anyone know the _frequencies_ for police scanners in Seattle? I have an SDR box, but Googling yields nothing of value.
Radio reference [dot] com
Listed frequencies by federal/state/county/local departments
Searchable for all.

#109Very useful mapped version in NYC https://scanmap.mobi/NY/
This is awesome! This should be crowdsourced like piaware...
