Transcribing Swells

article image placeholderUploaded by @FryedOreo
So that would be cool if Swell could get to a point where it had enough bandwidth to be able to give us snippets of the audio right. The snippets of the audio before we press play, that would be a game changer. But I almost wonder, would people even listen to the whole audio if they heard a snippet of it? Right. But that's just some of my thoughts about transcriptions or the transcribing feature here on Swell. What are your thoughts on the transcribing feature?

Is it useful to you or can it break your immersion?

So where the transcription becomes helpful for me is that as I'm listening, I can read the part that I can see and say, oh, okay, I get the gist of what they're talking about

Maybe they could implement that later on down the line because that would be cool then, because then I can have a bit more control on what I want to place emphasis on within that length of dialogue, because I think it's up to a minute that it has within there. It's a cool feature, though. It's a lifesaver in some aspects, as you have pointed out. As well as I have pointed out

And then you posit the idea that someone wants to really think about that headline and then think about the transcription that pulls towards that headline, which is, I think, how AI works, what words are more connected to that headline, and you're saying having control of what that is, it would take a long time

So that's what I'm thinking about as a creative tool, a creative workaround. But I haven't been successful so far because, again, I don't get how it works. It's very sophisticated, I'll give you all that. Very sophisticated, no matter how long or short it seems to find the meat of what you're talking about. And it transcribes that, and I hate that s***. But it's all good
