This is a quick POC for getting transcriptions of the Mandarin radio broadcast of RTI. I made this mainly for myself, maybe there are others who find this useful.

Would be pretty cool to then live translate that into English, or add pinyin pronunciation. Have you thought about adapting this for live audio transcription, or live TV?

You can use the translation tool in Chrome to get English translations, works pretty well.

For pinyin, there are some browser extensions for Chinese dictionaries, where you can hover over a word and get the pinyin (or bopomofo ;)).

I'd like to implement these eventually, but for now I think it's best to mix and match different tools to fit your own needs.

Live TV and audio transcriptions shouldn't be too difficult to implement, any particular sources you'd like to see?
