This is very impressive.

I'm the owner of Broadcastify.com, where presumably these streams are being transcribed from. We've dabbled in this space and looked at real-world approaches to taking something like this to market, but transcribing 7000+ streams to text seems like an expensive (computational) and ($$) effort that needs a lot of investigation.

Note to mention that the individual lexicons between streams are drastically different.

I wonder how the developer has done the integration to our streams... because I never heard from them :)

Hey Lindsay, I'm the one who just added EBRCS to Calls. Wondering if a solution to both cost problems would be to (optionally) have submitters upload a transcript along with each call? Could build a model into trunk-recorder maybe?

That might be an option, but we'd have to somehow get trained models down to the client, which is one of the issues.

We're working on client ingest models now that work on more of a "tasking" perspective, where someone deploys a device that is GPS enabled and then we send an ingest task to fill in coverage, start new coverage, etc. But this is predicated on low cost ingest devices (read: RPi and RTL sticks) which might not have the horsepower needed for transcription at the client level.
