The speech-to-text transcription is so incredibly wrong that it's almost dangerous to publish it like this.

For instance:

> at the beach view new screen for assistance there is a needle in his hand he's foaming from his mouth throwing off this item

What the officer actually said on the radio:

> He was going to Rainier Beach area. A request for assistance to approach two people with needles. <operator>: Call was from a neighbor in the area.

I don't have familiarity with speech-to-text but wouldn't it be possible to weight words based on their probability in this application to help resolve this. For example, suspect is probably a low frequency word in normal speech but very high in radio chatter.

Yes, but it takes a bit to build up that weighted list and it can be quite hefty to parse. So they may be building this behind the scenes currently. As another commenter pointed out, being able to correct a chunk and send it back to help the algorithm would be a nice feature here.

Side note: I'm dealing with this issue at the moment - if anyone has a good resource on reducing the workload I'd love a link!.
