Wish there was a service where I can plug in the URL of this podcast to get a Whisper transcript, separated into paragraphs, and with headlines for skimming. So I can decide whether or not to invest an hour of my time to actually listen to the whole thing.
- karmakaze 4y agoThere's already clues there as to what sort of angle this might be approached from. The speakers book "Jerks at Work: Toxic Coworkers and What to Do About Them, by Tessa West, 2022." as well as their work and other cited research is listed on the page. I just started listening, there were segments with the first being 15m. I would say that they're a collection of anecdata stories on the subject. I napped for a segment in the middle, dreaming about visiting a treehouse office, and was awake again for the end. I didn't find any big answers but also don't mind having passed the time.
- pvinis 4y agoI'd rather get your takes on episodes as a paid service over the idea of the parent :p
- hungryforcodes 4y agoI agree -- where can I sign up? :)
- baxtr 4y agoSo you'd pay someone to listen to Podcasts and send you a summary?
- EarlKing 4y agoBut what would we call it? Slashpod? Poddot? Either way, you'd be continuing the proud tradition of not reading the summary.
- jbotz 4y agoThe "meat" of the thing was right in the middle, so you may have missed it... it's simply that according to her research the best way of figuring out what someone is thinking or feeling is to ask them. Doh.
- swader999 4y agoThanks, this is one of those times where it would have been more useful to read the comments first. On a positive note, the voices were both soothing enough that I did get a short refreshing nap out of it.
- leobg 4y agoI wonder how many podcasts are actually being abused as sleeping aid.
- adinisom 4y agoTranscribed using 'base' model: https://pastebin.com/M5276AFE https://pastebin.com/M5276AFE
- leobg 4y agoWow. Thank you!
- Etheryte 4y agoI'm surprised by how good the result is, what tool did you use for this?
- mkaic 4y agoJudging from OP's comment, they used OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text transcription model, which was recently released open-source: https://openai.com/blog/whisper/ https://openai.com/blog/whisper/
- saddist0 4y agoAnd a stab at auto-summary using tools4noobs: https://pastebin.com/VY6M489T https://pastebin.com/VY6M489T
- serpix 4y agothe answer is "You ask them". Saved you one hour.
- cbfrench 4y agoslaps forehead Why didn’t I think of that before?
- badcc 4y agoBetter yet.. podcast -> Whisper -> text summarization model... sounds like it'd be fun to hack together
- jjtheblunt 4y agowhat's a Whisper transcript? (looking, enticed)
- leobg 4y agoTranscript created by OpenAI's new "Whisper" language model.
- jjtheblunt 4y agothanks
- sthatipamala 4y agoI made a similar thing for the Lex Friedman podcast. It transcribes the audio and runs it through a summarization model. You can then search the entire corpus to find relevant snippets from episodes: http://lexicon.lol http://lexicon.lol
- ephbit 4y agoFYI .. all episodes are available transcribed here: https://www.happyscribe.com/public/lex-fridman-podcast-artificial-intelligence-ai https://www.happyscribe.com/public/lex-fridman-podcast-artif...
- ephbit 4y agoYou can search here: https://www.happyscribe.com/public https://www.happyscribe.com/public Didn't find Hidden Brain through a quick search, maybe it's there and I didn't have enough patience. I'd love to know if there are other services similar to happyscribe.com .. anyone know any? It adds so much value to a podcast to be able to search for words/text and read instead of just listening. Also, if you want to add your own thoughts to something that was said, with a transcription you can simply make a PDF and attach an annotation or highlight sentences. If like me, you like to listen to podcasts and take notes and add your own thoughts, and if you have found some handy tools for that or come up with your custom convenient workflows, I'd really like to know.
- leobg 4y agoThanks for the recommendation. Didn't know that service. Why are you asking for similar services? What's something that you feel is missing on this one? If you could change it or add functionality, what would you change or add?
- ephbit 4y agoThey only have a selection of all podcasts. I once used their trial tool, to transcribe some episode. The functionality is good, but it is commercial. I wouldn't use it often enough to justify signing up. So if there were some similar tool where I don't have to sign up to some paid service just to transcribe one episode here or there, that'd be neat. Read of Whisper in the comments. I like that it doesn't appear to require some API keys to use their model. But I'd rather not install yet another Python package that likely comes with a whole bunch of new dependencies.
- ggerganov 4y agoYou can try my C/C++ port of Whisper: https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp No dependencies, no Python, runs efficiently on the CPU.
