Ask HN: I have 3 years of family dinner audio recordings; what to do with it?

1 points by douge1 3y ago ↗ HN

I’ve been stashing away audio recordings at dinner time with my family for 3 years and it’s fun to go back to like a journal fo hear what we talked about, what are some ideas for what you would do if you had this?

Put it in Whisper, get transcripts, then add search on top of it.

Cool. I’ve give this a shot.

Check that you didn't commit many, many felonies?

True. This is at home with family. Maybe I’ll get them to sign a contract. Haha. Good point to look at this.

I have a whole talk about exceptions to PA’s 2 party consent laws if you’re interested, and Appalachian

Once you have made it text, TF/IDF for themes. Depending on your AWS familiarity, you can use some out of the box pre-trained algorithms for a pretty low price

Here's a detailed example that can probably be done on your own machine: https://www.kaggle.com/code/maksimeren/covid-19-literature-c...

For an API, I should definitely mention HuggingFace too! https://huggingface.co/docs/api-inference/index
