Perfecting Speech to Text E530
While testing the ability of the Sennheiser Memory Mic (the white rectangle in the cover shot) to produce high quality text from speech, I let https://otter.ai listen to this clip and then it produced the following transcript.[Transcript rendered by Otter.ai in 29 seconds.]Hi, it's Bernie Goldbach Topgold Audio Clip 530. Today we're exploring how to make Lane One content. I teach in a creative multimedia program. I have digital animators, game art designers, Creative Media students, all looking at content that I produce. It's important I think, to make four different lanes for the content that they see. And the first lane is simple text. I'm using a Sennheiser wireless memory mic right now. It's just clipped on to the color of my shirt. I'm talking to you in a garage. So it's probably echoey. That's okay. I'm just trying to see with this work. Can I talk to you about the concept of my four lanes of academic work, and then have the memory might give you lane number two, which is the audio as well as author the speech to text Engine give you lane number one. For the record, lanes three and four are video. There's a high definition live video stream that's in lane four. And then that same video is normally cut down, perhaps with some call outs added for a third lane for rewind. So, how does this go on for you? Can you hear what I'm saying? If so, that means my lane two is well established. Can you go to the show notes of this episode, and see the unfiltered uncorrected transcript rendered by otter. If that's more than 80% accurate, it's a good deal. In that it saves me time to produce an outtake of what an entire hour long conversation would be like, if you threw show notes in outline form. That's slaying one simple Text explanation of what might be in the other lanes. If you're hearing this Okay, that means the Sennheiser memory mic, set on high sensitivity recorded me well clipped magnetically to my collar. Well done Sennheiser. As a footnote, I've been having some issues with the memory mic. I'd say one out of every five recordings I make are corrupt. They simply don't synchronize to my Samsung Note nine. need to fix that, perhaps by reinstalling the app or by cleaning up the phone and giving the app more space to work. You can see what I do if you follow the handle top gold on all good social networks. That's me, even listening to a top gold audio clip about how I make lane one of my content available for Creative Media students. If you have comments on this, you know where to find me. Top code on good social networks. Bye for now. Transcribed by https://otter.ai and blogged at https://www.insideview.ie/2020/07/continue-to-be-impressed-by-otter_ai.html
