Features i'd like to see in a podcast player:
- Full text search with jump to relevant timestamps (maybe do local speech-to-text with whisper.cpp)
- denoising / enhancement of bad audio (there are AI solutions to this, but i haven't seen it integrated in a player yet)
- ad-skipping (lots of ways to do this one, but hard to do in general)
-
@piggo yeah, and more and more podcast insert ads based on user location, so they are not necessarily always in the same place, so even something like sponsorblock would be hard to do.
-
@lain dunno about ad skipping without a database like sponsorblock ... often the presenter just starts plugging some bullshit product without changing the tone or anything
-
What about controlling noise levels of each audio channel? I’m not sure that can be done retroactively as the podcast data probably needs to be in a specific format.
-
@MMS21 what would be the use case there?
-
To filter out noises. Sort of like how you’d do that on your own microphone.
-
@MMS21 yeah, but why each audio channel?
-
@MMS21 adobe has a podcast enhancer that can get you near-radio quality from noisy cell phone recordings, it works really well
-
Wait, is it possible to edit that without messing with audio channels? I come across videos where the stereo sound is broken or theres a low/ high pitched noise in the background and I’ve been messing with the files to remove it.
