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 :)

You could conceivably do this using the text to speech recognition on a Mac using Loopback to capture the stream to a microphone input.

Someone clever enough could create containers to run the software locally and have many loops running off many streams to many instances of the audio to text feature.

Conventional speech recognition will not have very good accuracy for this sort of task out of the box. You will basically need to do local (as in, based on map location) language modeling, and should probably do custom acoustic modeling as well (training a neural network on what radio speech sounds like).

Did you look at the transcripts? They do not have very good accuracy. A better solution probably should do those things; this one I'm assuming is not.

Yes, I looked the website, and I also have my own website that does the same thing in a very similar manner. My comment was entirely in response to the suggestion Mac speech recognition be used for this. It should not be used for this. Based on previous experiments I have personally performed, it would be even worse than the website's accuracy. I then pointed out what a good solution might look like (and neither my website nor the linked website do the good solution yet)
