I've updated my online interview transcription app.

➕ All files stay on your Google Drive
➖ A little more complicated
➖ Doesn't work great with Safari
Once the audio and language models are loaded, the system produces a transcription with speaker labeling in approximately 15% of the time it takes to play the audio. So processing a ten-minute audio/video takes about 90 seconds.

Another Black person played Mastodon "instance roulette" and lost.
We need a Mastodon instance Green Book pronto or this ain't gonna work.
This is starting to feel like the WW2 Dunkirk evacuation where the Black and Indian Commonwealth soldiers were abandoned on the beach...
I'm starting a collaborative effort to make the writings of W.E.B. Du Bois in The Crisis, the NAACP magazine he founded, more accessible. Want to help?
Between 1910 and 1934, Du Bois wrote over a thousand items for The Crisis on various topics.
The site is a work in progress, but we've already reprinted 200+, so please check it out.
If you want to help improve the anthology, check out the contributor's guide or contact me!
