<< We really need a better way to index the videos. It's on the list, along with getting them hosted in the web app via Vimeo>>

It's an idea I've been mulling for a bit -- there are a number of 'speech-to-text' (post-event processing) services and options that, if we could script and automate the transcription process, Ardalis has a wealth of knowledge wrapped up in DevBetter's archive. Turning that video content to text content would seem like a nature first step to a more robust annotation.

I know that Office's Word app has a speech to text processor that's a) free as its included in most O365 subs; b) good enough to produce text where different speakers are differentiated and noted. Azure has something that (like Word's I've only read about.

Speaking as a new comer to the $$ group I'd really value being able get caught up on various threads of discussion but video is simply too slow. Anything that turns video to text is going to be a huge step in that direction.

I'd suggest we ask for responses here from anyone listening who has any prior experience with speech-to-text (in whatever form) share whatever lessons learned.

Thanks!
