Hi, I'm Rich, I run http://OpenWatch.net http://OpenWatch.net, we made this app for the ACLU. It is a fork of our Free and Open Source program, OpenWatch.
The really interesting part is that we get thousands of the recordings send back to us. The app has been out for more than a year and we have collected thousands of recordings.
We need people to help process all of the data. If you have any experience with audio processing, trans-coding audio, or data visualization, please get in touch! - rich@gun.io

- DanBC 14y agoIsn't this something that could be Mechanical Turked?
- MichaelApproved 14y agoI think they're looking for volunteers.
- Mizza 14y agoVolunteers, or hackers who want to work on something automated. We have a whoolllle lot of audio, to transcribe it all on MTurk with the resources we have (ie, none) - would be very cost prohibitive. What we need is a system which can convert 3gp to something more usable, automatically remove noise, automatically remove silent parts, automatically adjust the levels for speech, and then automatically transcribe them. It's a challenge.
- daeken 14y agoPretty much everything but automatic transcription is pretty straightforward. Feel free to email me if you want some advice in that regard (email's in my profile).
