Comment on WhisperX — Automated Transcripts w/ Timestamps and Speaker Tagging

What would be some use cases for WhisperX? I’m struggling to envision how I would use that in a selfhosting/homelabbing environment.

I guess that’s why I am having difficulty coming up with a use case. I mean, I walk around the lab talking to myself all day long, but I think it’d be a bad idea to have a record of all those conversations. lol

If you don’t have to sit through a bunch of ‘meetings that could have been emails’ on a daily basis, you likely won’t have a use case for it.
But in my last job I was a systems engineer for a web development company. I had to be included on all of the dev calls in case an infrastructure question came up that I needed to answer, and so I was vaguely aware of what the devs were doing.
This software would have been a lifesaver, because my ADHD doesn’t let me listen to stuff like that for a straight hour or two.

I’m personally looking at setting up whisper or whisperx with bazarr, to get subtitles for movies and series that I can’t find any to download.

Long videos or voice notes where you’re usually just looking for a small snippet.

Now that’s an interesting angle. I am a mediocre musician on my best day, but sometimes I incorporate phrases and lyric snippits in a piece. I wonder if I could use WhisperX to find those words or phrases from a stack of songs. For instance, I did a piece that used a line from Jimi Hendrix’s ‘If 6 were 9’ where he says ‘I’m the one who’s gotta die when it’s time for me to die. So let me live my life the way I want to.’ I wonder if WhisperX could pick that out of a stack of Jimi Hendrix songs.

You should be able to get decent results from that if you pipe your tracks through demucs first to isolate the vocals.

I use UVR for vocal isolation. It just works, but that shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll check it out. At the worst, I’ll learn something.

It might take a while, but when your PC is working on it you are not and searching for words might be easier ^^
I’m excited to hear how well it works ^^

I’m always excited to try new stuff. You never know. A use case might develop that you didn’t think of.

half sarcastic but the overall premise of rigging something in to a local voice assistant, when an arguement starts “Ok nabu record this conversation”. then 2 weeks later on another arguement… “OK nabu search our last arguement for the cabinet”.

Hmm... Would be interesting to find out what kind of effect that has on the average marriage or relationship 😅

I mean, I’d imagine probably not a good one :) Somehow I imagine asking the AI to record a conversation, is an instant arguement escalator… as is asking to read the facts back, and usually the topic would be switched rather than one side admitting their fault in the conversation.
Actually I think there’s a black mirror episode on roughly that (not a device for recording audio when asked, but everyone having a chip in their head that automatically records their memories, and a huge fight when a husband discovers his wife deleted a few hours of recordings.

That was a great episode!

I have a lady friend that does quite a good enough job of that. LOL
‘You remember back in 1979…it was a Friday at 2:11 PM, and you said…’ ‘Babe, I don’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday.’

Does she do it for her fuckups, though?
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 months ago
What kind of stupid-ass question is that? LOL All kidding aside, she’s a good soul. We’re not married, we’ve just know each other for 45+ years. It just kind of clicked. She lives in her house, and I in mine, and we get together as often as possible.
