[Tools-discuss] Re: Session audio recording

[Tom Pusateri <[e-mail]>]

I have discussed this in the past for use with the mobile apps.

I had asked for all the individual raw files be archived for audio and video but this request was rejected. The problem seemed to be that the IETF didn’t want to provide the storage for this. So they generate a file to upload to YouTube and delete the originals.

I wanted to play around with different ways to present the audio and video through the mobile apps such that you could have just audio and have it play in the background while driving or on a walk. Or switch between video and high quality synchronized slides.

I also experimented with speech to text systems and speaker identification algorithms. But without a reliable source of the audio files, I lost interest in the project.
