Thanks for introducing me to Oyez as a source for oral arguments. The audio is much easier to follow when it's paired (and synced) with the transcript. This is probably the best we can get until that fabled day when they finally allow cameras in the courtroom.

Shameless plug: If you enjoy that, you may like a version that I made that sinks the audio and transcripts with puppies[1], available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1ibFnn3NcXjQHY47o0yWg/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn1ibFnn3NcXjQHY47o0yWg/vid... Though this particular case is not available yet. [1]: The idea was originally inspired by Last Week Tonight, I just automatically generate them.

  Amazing! What API are you using to weave together the clips - just ffmpeg, or some other tool? Also I love that you coded cutaways to observers and the chicken stenographer - it makes it incredibly natural seeming. Did any news outlets end up using your outputted videos? Also, any chance it’s open source? :)

What a wonderful experience. That was my first time listing to a supreme court oral argument and the site has such a clean UI it was such a joy to listen to and following along with the transcript.
