It actually does make sense. Not saying you're stupid, but in standard English, if you say it quickly, the two sentences are nearly identical.
But in "you sing", "s" is pronounced as "s", not as "z" from "using", right?
I pronounce using with an S unless I'm saying it very slowly

Unrelated, but why isn’t Europe a country already. It’s been ages!

For folks like me puzzling over what the correct transcription of the title should be, I think it's "How to recognize speech using common sense"
Thank you! "Calm incense" makes very little sense when said in an accent where calm isn't pronounced like com.
How is calm pronounced in those accents?

Because it can use the full set of information of the audio - people with hearing difficulties cannot. Also interesting, people with perfectly functional hearing, but whom have "software" bugs (i.e. I find it extremely hard to process voices with significant background nose) can also benefit :)
I have that issue as well - I can hear faint noises OK but if there's background noise I can't understand what people say. But I'm pretty sure there's a physical issue at the root of it in my case. The problem showed up after several practice sessions with a band whose guitarist insisted on always playing at full volume.
> I have that issue as well
You say issue, I say feature. It's a great way to just ignore boring babbling at parties or other social engagements where you're just not that engaged. Sort of like selective hearing in relationships, but used on a wider audience

In Australian English, calm rhymes with farm and uses a long vowel, while com uses a short vowel and would rhyme with prom. (I know this doesn't help much because some American accents also rhyme prom with farm).
Consider the way "Commonwealth Bank" is pronounced in this news story: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MhkuHGRAAbg. An Australian English speaker would consider (most) Americans to be saying something like "Carmenwealth" rather "Commonwealth".

It really ruins some poetry.

#279Whisper is genuinely amazing - with the right nudging. It's the one AI thing that has genuinely turned my life upside-down in an unambiguously good way. People should check out Subtitle Edit (and throw the dev some money) which is a great interface for experimenting with Whisper transcription. It's basically Aegisub 2.0, if you're old, like me. HOWTO: Drop a video or audio file to the right window, then go to Video >…
whisper is great, i wonder why youtube's auto generated subs are still so bad? even the smallest whisper is way better than google's solution? is it licensing issue? harder to deploy at scale?
You’d think they’d use the better model for at least videos that have a large view counts (they already do that when deciding compression optimizations).

whisper is definitely nice, but it's a bit too slow. Having subtitles and transcription for everything is great - but Nemo Parakeet (pretty much whisper by nvidia) completely changed how I interact with the computer. It enables dictation that actually works and it's as fast as you can think. I also have a set of scripts which just wait for voice commands and do things. I can pipe the results to an LLM, run commands,…
Would you share the scripts?
Or at least more details. Very cool!
