Continuing the conversation about using #whisper in #podcast production with @choochus

We've been talking about transcribing the backlog. Here's what I do with new shows (n=2, early days).

I record the show. I take the raw unedited file and run whisper on default small model. I use that to write show notes as I edit and put things together.

After mastering, I take the final show and run again on medium model. This is what I put in #Obsidian for future reference.

@geniodiabolico @choochus Any idea how #whisper stacks up against the transcription available in OtterAI? I’ve not yet compared the two, but wondering if anyone else has.

@AnthonyBaker @choochus #otterai snippet:

it is not only a good song, it's good advice. You don't have to believe every single thought that tumbles out of your head. Just because it sounds like you talking. You can take that one of the crank wives. The song is turned out the lights from the album Fox war, I believe this I don't I have done very little research. I think their entire catalogue is like self produced self published.

You can take that one to the bank.
The Crane Wives.
The song has turned out the lights from the album Fox Lore.
I believe this.
I don't.
I have done very little research.
I think their entire catalog is like self-produced self-published.

@AnthonyBaker @choochus #whisper large, which perplexingly did the worst -missing a big chunk. I took this 2 sentences farther. I believe first two line are actually the end of the song.

You don't have to believe every single thought
That tumbles through your head
Just cause it sounds like you talking
Self-produced, self-published, like, I don't believe there's any record label concern in any of this
And this shit sounds so good

@geniodiabolico @AnthonyBaker thanks for sharing! I'll be trying out some dual voice and panel discussions this weekend. Curious what that will look like 😉

@choochus @AnthonyBaker The thing otter does that whisper does not is speaker identification. That show I recorded with y'all about Game of Thrones was kind of a mess in transcript form for example.

@geniodiabolico @choochus Yeah I was figuring it wouldn’t. And I like with Otter that it can identify speakers and you can then name each and it applies their name across the doc. Do wish they had better export options though — they have a lot of structured data you can’t get out of it.
