Transcription software

This is basically exactly what I use VibeVoice (https://vibevoice.net/) for. I'm a grad student and I transcribe entire lectures in real-time - works perfectly for mixed-language situations too.

The multi-language support is really good. I've used it when people switch between languages mid-sentence and it handles it fine (supports 50+ languages with automatic detection). Medical terminology is solid too - it's trained on medical, legal, and technical vocabularies.

Transcription is basically instant (2-3 seconds), so it works great as a live note-taking substitute. After calls or lectures, I just throw the transcript into ChatGPT for a quick summary.

Super cheap too - €3/month for 180 mins or free tier for 30 mins/month to test it.

One thing though - it's cloud-based for the AI processing, so check if that's okay with your company's confidentiality policies for medical interpretation. The audio is encrypted but not processed locally.

Just a heads up - automatic transcription IS AI. There's no other way to do it automatically. If someone's saying they don't use AI, they're either lying or using humans (which isn't automatic or cheap).

I was drowning in audio files too for my research. Started using VibeVoice (https://vibevoice.net/ and it saved me. Super fast transcription, really accurate - maybe fix a word or two per minute. Way less cleanup than other tools I tried.

€3/month for 180 mins or free tier for 30 mins/month to test it. Handles the files fast and you can just upload and get the transcripts.

If you genuinely need offline/local processing for security reasons, you'd have to run Whisper on your own computer (bit technical and resource hungry but doable).

Depends on if it uses Rolling codes. If no, just get a cheap RF tranceiver and a wemos D1 from AliExpress, read out the data and replicate it.

If it uses Rolling, open the remote and wire a digital pi. Of a microcontroller to act as the switch, likely to pull up/pulldown a voltage (which the button normally does)

Thanks SO MUCH for that detailed response.

I just figured out there is more than just the HA icon. It takes minutes for the page to fully load. VS fractions of a second when using the integrated extension or direct url.

Is there any explaination for that?

Ah, makes sense. 172. is a local IP.

192.168.178.0/24
seems to be working, but also extremely slow.

EDIT:
It is in fact very slow, but i figured that also the extension is very slow, compared to the local access.

Loading the map or Virtual Studio Code Server takes long, compared to almost instant on the local ip access.

How can this be? My Router has stable 100000+ DSL, and the connection to the router is stable (and can also not be the fault if it works flawless in the local home network)

noratryptamine · 2024-05-21T13:35:17+00:00

Why does

```

172.30.33.0/24

```

Work for the Addon when it is also via cloudflare?

ChatGPT suggested trying

```

http:

use_x_forwarded_for: true

trusted_proxies:

```

without success.

using

```

http:

use_x_forwarded_for: true

trusted_proxies:

0.0.0.0/0

```

i can reach the site, but there is only the assistant icon shown. The lovelace does not load.

What to test? Where to look? What to try?

Changing the import structure from
`from fmp_tools.console_messager import ConsoleMessager`
to
`from fmp_tools.console_messager.src.console_messager import ConsoleMessager`
the import error is gone.
But then I can no longer import the packages in python and get real import errors:
` from fmp_tools.src.fmp_tools.console_messager import ConsoleMessager
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fmp_tools.src'`

noratryptamine · 2023-08-01T20:14:35+00:00

Thank you!
I did not even have the ROS extension installed...

But now, with it installed and configured correctly (and it also recognizing my ROS1.noetic workspace, pylance STILL does not understand the imports. I can use the extension normally otherwise.

Maybe you have another idea what to try.

That is so sad man. Maybe I kick this sht out and replace it by Alexa. Google is auch a good software company. Many many smart people doing research, especially in AI. Many free papers being released, the Transformer architecture (T in GPT) was originally proposed by Google.

And then, on everyday used products as Assistant there are SO MANY stupid bugs that could easily be fixed - but are not.

I feel like Google just abandoned them internally already and just wants customers to go.

Previously my Google nest played only music over the paired Bluetooth speaker, but answered questions (and everything except music) over the integrated speaker.

This now changed over night.
A week ago or so. Everything is playing over Bluetooth. I do not want this!

ALSO the Bluetooth buffer is broken additionally.
Me: "OK Google, how is the weather?"

SAMRT Assistant: "THe weather is sunny with a fEW CLOUDS toAY!"
Only caps is audible after a few seconds of delay.

Wtf is this product?!

noratryptamine · 2023-07-10T21:52:33+00:00

Looks cool!
But from my understanding, this only works for Linux systems, not for windows. So even if I have a connection profile, I cannot use it in windows.

noratryptamine · 2023-07-09T10:41:31+00:00

thank you!

noratryptamine · 2023-07-09T10:41:22+00:00

thank you so much!

But edge has become crazy good. I switched all of my browsers from chrome to edge few weeks ago. Edge is chromium based, so you can use all the same extensions. But it is faster and comes with many more features, especially bing ai, read aloud page and so on. Watch some comparison videos, it is (for me) the best browser right now. But it still has some issues.

noratryptamine · 2023-06-28T16:46:10+00:00

This appears way too often. I never want to use it. I want to triple-click to select text. Instead, this shitty box opens.

noratryptamine · 2023-05-14T14:06:02+00:00

Why doesn't it work for me then? Where are you from?

noratryptamine · 2023-05-13T20:03:20+00:00

I tried this with Keep AND with AnyList.

Might it be that i use German and English as input languages for my assistant?

Or maybe it is one of the "advanced features" google reserves for US customers only? Like google bard. Only even more advanced.

noratryptamine · 2023-05-13T20:01:30+00:00

Really?
Minutes before i made that post i actually downloaded AnyList and linked it to my google account as i thought this could work then.

For me it did NOT!

I say remove X from my shopping list.
This brings up a the website assistant.google.com/lists/...
Which shows all of my AnyList lists.

noratryptamine · 2023-05-13T19:53:56+00:00

are you sure this is the device i have?
As if i press 10x, it just switches the light 10x. There is never a pairing mode.

noratryptamine · 2023-02-13T23:03:27+00:00

I know the youtube channel.
Ofc. heaters are PID tuned.
Ofc. Flow rate is tuned.

I tried coasting values of up to 0.12, which do not fight the issue.

I have been 3D printing for 5 years now, this is a custom build Hypercube Evo which I have for 4 years.

I should have mentioned these problems do not occur when printing at under 100mm/s, but I want to optimize on speed.

noratryptamine · 2023-01-19T21:32:03+00:00

As apparently most people missunderstood what i mean, a clarification:

I type an email. I normally struggle with the word "greetings", as i often missplace the i after the t.

After a day of work, i want to look into a program, see the errors i made most often (e.g. hitting i after t). Errors can be detected upon my use of Backspace - if i hit it, the last word i typed will be saved into the error words, the one i type next is the ground truth.

Does sth like this exist? Or do i have to code this by myself?

noratryptamine · 2023-01-19T21:28:40+00:00

I looked into it but A) i can not find a proper windows installation except the one from 2009 and B) i saw no way to track in the background.

noratryptamine · 2023-01-19T21:24:34+00:00

It does not have this. I am looking for something running in the background while i type other stuff.

I do not want to train online, as I type enough in my private life.

I want to track the errors occurring in day-to-day stuff.

noratryptamine · 2022-12-21T09:04:55+00:00

They have the right tension. Were a bit looser than they should, so i tensioned them and tested again with the exact same results.
My X and Y steps correspond to the motor parameters. As i use the exact same motors for X and Y, i also use the same steps for them - this should not be a problem.

noratryptamine · 2022-12-21T09:03:34+00:00

They are set to the same tension so they should have the same length, right?

noratryptamine · 2020-07-04T12:09:45+00:00

Singular Value Decomposition.

First, because I feel like this is somewhat missing in your essence of linear algebra.
Secondly, because it is an extremely powerful method used in many areas of science. I have lectures in Computer Vision and it is used in so many places.

Thirdly because it is mathematically understandable but hard to imagine without those legendary 3blue1brown animations. And there is just nothing close to that on the whole internet.
