Today I used #Emacs Lisp to parse Deepgram's #speech recognition JSON output with utterances, punctuation, and smart format turned on and the #Whisper Large model selected. I turned the words array into a VTT subtitle file with speaker identification (handy for EmacsConf Q&A) and captions limited to roughly 45 characters with punctuation preferred for splitting. It's way faster than waiting for a CPU-only computer to run Whisper Large on the files. Looking forward to experimenting with this for my personal braindumping too.
All right, videos posted, pads and IRC logs copied, update sent to emacsconf-discuss, thank-you notes sent! Now I have a little time to make some progress on non-#EmacsConf parts of my todo list. I'll eventually circle back and do captions for the live/late talks and maybe indices for the Q&A. Plenty of things I need to catch up on, though! :)
Links to #EmacsConf BigBlueButton recordings are now available from https://emacsconf.org/2023/talks/ . I'll eventually work on figuring out combining them into webms so people can watch them more easily instead of using the web player, and then I can figure out minor edits.
I'm updating our #EmacsConf opening remarks in which we help people learn how to find their way around the conference. I have tracks, watching, Q&A, Etherpad, IRC, captions, notes, general feedback, status, guidelines for conduct, updates and videos, hosts, and thanks (which will actually be in closing remarks). I need to add a tip on checking out the talk page for additional resources. Anything else?
Yay, all the #EmacsConf talks uploaded so far either have captions or volunteers are working on captions for them. That's 4 in progress (127 minutes total) and 20 finished (365 minutes). One week to go. I can use the next few days to test the infrastructure and improve the process documentation (especially those just-in-case scenarios!) before I might need to do any last-minute captioning. Mildly stressed, but I know we'll all manage to figure things out!
