Transcribing ProPublica podcast with Python and Watson Speech to Text API

Using IBM Watson Speech to Text API to translate a ProPublica podcast

An example of using the Watson Speech to Text API to translate a podcast from ProPublica: How a Reporter Pierced the Hype Behind Theranos

This is just a simpler demo of the same technique I demonstrate to make automated video supercuts in this repo: https://github.com/dannguyen/watson-word-watcher

The transcription takes just a few minutes (less if you parallelize the requests to IBM) and is free...but it isn't perfect by any means. It doesn't fare super well on proper nouns:

  • Charles Ornstein's last name is transcribed as Orenstein
  • John Carreyrou's last name becomes John Kerry Roo
