Have you tweaked Whisper in any specific ways to improve accuracy?

#42Would be nice to have a slider to adjust the timestamp period of time. Timestamps every 3 seconds is distracting to read 4 words per line. Being able to adjust to 10/30/60 second timestamps would be nice to give you a proper paragraph to read (i guess you may not be able to indent cleanly but you get my point)
This should be possible, since Whisper forks can support exporting results with timestamps per word. Indexing entire sentences / clauses is a more complex problem though.

#43Here's my crack at a podcast transcription website: https://podscription.app I made this while unemployed and the skills I learned from making it helped me land my new job!
Any chance you'd be open to sharing source? Also, curious if you used any tuning on Whisper to get transcription more accurate?

#45Haha I built this for fun a few months ago to full text search my own favorite podcasts. What are you guys using to do full text search / indexing?
Currently I'm using Algolia but others have pointed out some alternatives I'll have to check out. Would love to hear any feedback/ideas you have from your project!
Awesome, I just tweeted at your proj re: gpu

#46If you want to grow your audience user-wise, allowing people to add alerts on specific terms would be pretty cool.
There's a set of people I always enjoy listening to whenever they're on a podcast, but it's hard to keep track of everything out there.

#47I was also exploring this idea a while back, congratulations on taking it past the finish line. Highly recommend you set up CloudFront for serving S3 static resources - right now you are linking directly to S3 which is much more expensive for content distribution, especially since you're serving large audio files.

#48feel free to post any corrections
podtext.ai --this post
www.listennotes.com --focused a lot more than transcripts, but probably the most complete of all here.
steno.ai --most professional seeming and possibly second most complete
podscription.app --good search, very limited inventory
podscript.ai --pretty but a little buggy, doesn't show timestamps or transcripts in search results
podsearch.page --only generates for specific podcasts. can't search across podcastsRe: Show HN: PodText.ai – Search anything said on a podcast, highlight text to play
#49Surprised to see how many other small projects doing this same thing there are. Kinda seems like a solved problem with ListenNotes. Not affiliated, but I use the service a lot and they have a lot more features than just transcripts including publicly accessible APIs (some of which could probably be utilized by some of the projects posted here)

Something like this would be interesting to me, many podcasts I listen to are not here or on some of the other links shared by others. Sometimes I can jump around and find roughly the right space for the segment to share but often I can't. It doesn't feel helpful to share a 2 hour podcast for a minute of discussion.
