It's unbelievable how easy and cheap it is these days to do something as time consuming as transcribing a podcast with a few clicks from any computer.
I'm currently working on a podcast and just gave Google Speech-to-Text API a try to transcribe my episodes.
You can read more about how I did it here: https://alediaferia.com/2020/05/14/how-used-gcp-transcripts-podcast/
TL;DR: the result was not too bad!
Interesting. I tried both Google and AWS a couple of months ago, and the results were VERY different. Amazon's transcription was almost perfect, and Google's was usually just mediocre and sometimes only returned a portion of the episode. Maybe I was doing something wrong?
Just wanted to share my experience. I was actually surprised that Google's wasn't more accurate. Maybe it was the audio quality too, who knows.
Hey, thanks for your feedback! I think I'm going to give AWS a try too, really curious about comparing the results! I might share the comparison in another blog post. Cheers
That would be cool. Like I said, my Google results were so bad that maybe my inputs were setup wrong somehow.
