That idea crossed my mind even seeing how many companies failed even during boom times.
Service could be powered by some speech recognition software (maybe more than one) which initially would give insane percentage of incorrectly recognized text. Community could fix those errors (weak link in my plan:)). Afterwards you feed data back to software and train it so next time it would work better.
Training would require marking which person talks when in episode to tune algorithms for each of them. Maybe group them by regional dialects.
Oh, another tiny small thingie - not clear how to monetize that.
- elo 12y agoAgreed about monetization. Ideally, this should be a community thing like Wikipedia but that’s probably unrealistic. I really think it would be an amazing resource. There would be so much great content that the site would potentially rank really high on Google for a variety of search terms, too (again, like Wikipedia).
- jkaunisv1 12y agoMonetization: you could sell the service to professional podcasters as it would increase content on their site, and possibly serve as another place to put ads for their sponsors. If you focused on a core set of popular podcasts you could package it as a monthly ebook or similar product. While overall people don't like paying for content like that I think it's possible to find a niche market that would.
