What is SpeakUp.info?
SpeakUp.info is an open-source, community-driven speech recognition and transcription platform. It allows users to upload audio or video files, which are then divided into short segments. Contributors can claim these segments and provide transcriptions through an easy-to-use editor interface.
Some key features of SpeakUp.info include:
- Free to use for both uploading files and contributing transcriptions
- Open API for integrating transcriptions into other applications
- Web-based - no software to install
- Transcripts are time-aligned to the source media for easy playback and correction
- Support for many languages and accents
- Moderation tools to review transcriptions and resolve disputes
- Usage analytics dashboards for tracking progress
By tapping into community contributors, SpeakUp.info can provide fast and affordable transcriptions. It aims to make audio and video content more searchable and accessible. The platform is free to use and is supported through grants and donations rather than ads or user data collection.
