Do you get permission from podcast creators? Because these transcripts are probably derivative works.

It hasn't been litigated yet, but the closest analog is closed captioning. You can legally create closed captions for someone elses work, and you then own the copyright.

I think the closest analog is audiobooks. You can't create audiobooks without permission from the original creator of the book. Your derivative work has it's own copyright, but it only applies to the work you've done, i.e. the audio. You can't steal someone's original work just by adding something to it. You get copyright on the addition only.

From Noiser's latest episode of "Short History Of", at 0:14, the phrase "he's a law student" is transcribed as "his aloer student".

Apparently aloer is a real word, but not one I've ever heard, and not one that has anything to do with Indian history (the subject of said podcast episode).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do I understand correctly banana pricing is that it costs $1.87 per hour, so the hour of audio with large model costs you about $1? Thats probably a bit too expensive compared to cloud providers.

> 1 hour of audio processing with Whisper on Banana costs From their page on Whisper: https://www.banana.dev/deploy-whisper

Thats probably medium model

Amazing. I was literally just building the same thing. I have a little over 50k podcast episodes with karaoke style word by word transcription. On to the next project I guess.

There are dozens of us! This looks nice and the UI is better than I would have done. Good job, OP. I guess I can stop running my GPU every night.

I might still try to release a nice bundled-up docker container that can STT a podcast RSS into a text RSS. Some podcasts are enjoyable to listen to, but some I just want to skim the text.
