I have just finished the processing for the revival of my old podcast searching site, PodSearch. I'm using the amazing Whisper speech-to-text engine to convert some of my favorite shows into easily searchable textual archives.

I've included The Talk Show, ATP, Upgrade, Cortex, Connected & Under the Radar.

@_Davidsmith I can’t believe my name is spelled correctly in the transcripts. Remarkable work.

@tvaziri It is really wild with things like that...my current hunch is that it has a corpus of notable words from internet searching and then once it "hears" something like one of them it snaps to it...or it is just magic...could be either.

@_Davidsmith @tvaziri I vanity searched myself and got zero hits for Moren in any shows...because it always seems to transcribe my name as “Morin”. 🤨
