Working on a project: Scanscribe | AI powered speech-to-text transcriber built for scanners.

Hey all! I recently been working on a not so little project called Scanscribe. An AI-powered speech-to-text transcriber built specifically for radio and written in python.

How it works: Scanscribe monitors an "ingest" folder (like how rdio-scanner does) which where is you point your recorders like SDRTrunk or Proscan to save audio to. Then Scanscribe will use a whisper text to speech ai model fine-tuned (MANUALLY BY ME) from currently 600 different radio audio clips to accurately transcribe your audio files to a text file.

Requirements:
Basic python knowledge. (to know how to run the script).
An nvidia GPU or a heavy duty CPU.

Would anyone be interested in further development or beta testing?

I would be interested in testing it out.

Does it do real time transcribing of each transmission, or only on demand for a particular file, or both options?

This sounds awesome. I have some experience with Python.

as soon as your recorder is done with it, the clip gets sent down the pipeline to be transcribed. It can also process an entire folder of audio clips until its caught up, then it will proceed with processing live transcripts. DM me for details if your interested but keep in mind that this is experimental! It might not work as well for other people due to the fine-tuned model being based from my area's radios. I am curious to see though how it performs!

So crazy. I just asked ChatGPT if this was already a thing and it linked me to this thread that was posted hours before. I’m super interested!
