PyAnNote: How to Make MP3 Transcripts Work for You

It's very complicated at the moment, not worth my development efforts. I see kind of sitting around waiting. We actually had a lot of people reach out after that whisper episode saying you could do this. You know, we could we could we have separate tracks. So we could actually just edit them and then do each track individually and then munch the files or something like this. It just really it just messes with our workflows.

Speaker 2
Yeah. I don't know if that's how you say it. PyAnNote. So I know some people, there's a thread on the whisper CPP discussion about how to go about it. And it's basically like a pipeline situation where you run it through whisper, then you run it through this other thing called PyAnNote. And then you run it through whisper again or something. It's very complicated at the moment, not worth my development efforts. I see kind of sitting around waiting. I know there's other ways we could do it ourselves. We actually had a lot of people reach out after that whisper episode saying you could do this. You could do that. You know, we could we could we have separate tracks. We do multi track recording. So we could actually just edit them and then do each track individually and then munch the files or something like this. Possible. It just really it just really messes with our workflows. You know, so we're trying to have like a we would love to just upload our MP3 into our Phoenix app. And then in the background, it just goes and transcribes it and it just is amazing. So I'm just kind of waiting for that to be potential.
Speaker 1
Well, you could I mean, we've you could upload three MP3s then. Or is it because getting the individual tracks is
Speaker 2
hard? Yeah. So we start with individual tracks, but once we mix down, we're basically just adding a bunch of steps. Oh, we start with tracks, we edit them and then we have a session and then we mix that down to a single wave file and then we convert that to an MP3. And that's what we finally ship. But it's and we're doing manipulation on the MP3 in our app, like adding chapters and stuff, but we're not doing the transcripts. And so at that point, you don't have any sort of multi track information. And you don't want to do it too early because then the time stamps are all going to change because we're still going to edit it. You know, so it's like, how does it work in bulk? Because we're shipping five or six shows a week. It has to be like, it can't add, you know, hours and hours of additional steps and way files are large. And anyways, podcaster problems, but I appreciate all of our listeners who wrote in and gave us suggestions. Just I'm not going to use any of them. I'm just going to wait. I'm just going to wait until something pops up. I'm patient. I've been waiting this long.
Speaker 1
So until it says, Mart, so right. So you can just exactly click.
