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.

It would be cool if there was a way to listen for a bit and feed some corrected transcriptions back in to help train the algorithm better

Yeah, live transcripting is one of those jobs that can be easily done remotely, at scale, and crowdsourced; if one sentence is transcripted by two or three people, you can do error correction / checking as well (or just show the different interpretations). Transcripts for radio comms are important because they can be used in legal proceedings. Same with e.g. bodycam footage.

You cant use crowd sourced transcript for legal proceedings if original audio was not recorded. It would be too easy to be poisoned by bad actors doing intentionally bad transcripts.

I guess it would be considered hearsay at that point
