FreeLiveTranscript.com<\/a> is an open-sourced, browser-based, speech-to-text application that creates “live transcripts of speech on the web, that can be displayed (and edited) in real-time on a big screen, or watched on anybody’s personal device.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
FreeLiveTranscript is browser-based, accepts English or Spanish input, and requires no voice training.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s not really meant for personal speech-to-text\/dictation — you can use it for that, but there are already plenty of apps that do that. (Android’s speech-to-text; Win10’s built-in “dictation;” etc.)<\/p>\n

But FreeLiveTranscript is different for groups: By sharing a URL that’s generated when you start the app, an arbitrary number of participants can connect to watch the speech-to-text transcript as it’s being generated in real-time. Everyone gets their own editable (JSON-based) copy of the resulting transcript.<\/p>\n

I can think of many applications — business meetings, brainstorming sessions, journalism… — where that would be very useful.<\/p>\n

FreeLiveTranscript is experimental. Any browser can use the shared URL to watch the live transcript and obtain a copy; but only Chrome has the speech-to-text API to generate\/originate the transcripts. So, any browser can join in, but the host — the system that generates the transcript — must be using Chrome.<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting demo… and you might even find it useful!<\/p>\n
