@stephensonsco @noahxc99 Who came up with the phrase "Sometimes I get depressed and go to airport to pick up other people's relatives"?

@libovness @noajshu I wish that was me! For those not following, you are referring to the top video on www.mashily.com (Mashily is a demo of our tech that lets you search through Donald Trump speeches, then edit clips to make him 'say anything'). That video was put together by some majestically brilliant reddit user a couple hours after we took Mashily live. We really should chase them down to get a drink ...

@stephensonsco I have watched this video 100 times. I think it is among the weirdest phrases you could come up with in the English language, but it's made especially good by how his tone in "other people's relatives" makes the phrase sound perfectly sensible

@piero_ruiz Definitely agree--navigating recorded lectures is a huge pain point we want to tackle. For DeepGram to handle accents, we had to train it with a large audio corpus created by many different speakers. Sometimes it's still helpful to 'type out' how it sounds--e.g.: 'wah ter mell un' instead of 'watermelon'

@piero_ruiz TED and Khan academy are great applications! If you know some peeps working on those products, definitely send 'em our way ;). We started working on DeepGram while indexing our lives in college (@noajshu made a wearable -- lectures were a big impetus!) so we definitely see the value of being able to discover and navigate content like this.

@stephensonsco Tom from the product team at Khan Academy here. Definitely thought the same as @imranghory when I saw this - would be keen to chat about it more

@thomaspryor @stephensonsco @imranghory We'd be keen as well! I'll reach out shortly.

@noajshu did u consider a slack or zapier integration as the twilio alternative?

@noajshu Hey Noah, there is a local company that does a similar thing however it takes a long time to process a video, so my question to you is: how long does it take to process a typical (5min or less) video with your platform

@ayirpelle great q--we ended up integrating directly with Twilio's API. It looks like Zapier only supports their SMS features (https://zapier.com/zapbook/twilio/) and I can't find the Slack integration--could you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

@orliesaurus great question--we take about 2 minutes or less for a typical video, regardless of length. We're always working on making this faster though!

@noajshu so I went on to test the claim, I just uploaded a 30seconds clip and its been 30 minutes...still indexing?

@rrhoover @stephensonsco @annewootton I agree. The thing that's always fascinated me about video content indexing in particular is the ability to index based on content not searchable in the video's title or tags. Being able to search based on the mood or the actual content of the video (which is inherently more subjective than anything else) is something that I think holds a lot of opportunity in the future.

@adammarx13 @rrhoover @stephensonsco @annewootton Absolutely! We need content-aware search to navigate the ever-widening torrent of online media. Podcasts are a great example where the audio contains 1000s of words but there's little metadata. We're big fans of what audiosear.ch is doing and would love to get in touch with @annewootton !

thanks @jtriest ! We aim to make audio 100000x more useful.

@noajshu 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000x

@kartikparija @adorilabs @stephensonsco Thanks Kartik! Checking out Adori now.

@noajshu @stephensonsco Oh our website is *ahem* vague. Ignore it please. We are busy building product and will update it soon. But would love to connect directly and tell you more. Since my original comment, there has already been an animated discussion within our small team about how we can use Deepgram!!! 😄

@kartikparija @stephensonsco We'd love to get in touch! send us a message at deepgram.com/contact :D

@noajshu @stephensonsco Did that. Look forward to connecting directly. And I love @rrhoover suggestion that you connect with @annewootton This came up in our internal discussion about Deepgram as well. She and her team are doing some smashing work with podcast and radio transcription.

@kartikparija @adorilabs Would encourage you to also check out (https://www.producthunt.com/post...). We have a bunch of audio producers using the product already :)

@passingnotes This is something we spent time on a few months ago when we made www.freshcandidate.com which was almost identically what you described (FC has changed to be a simpler demo now, but it hasn't been maintained in months). We certainly think political issues are a great way to use search but we found that FC needed some sort of community manager to constantly find good content and remove duplicate content. One really cute finding is that politicians tell the same jokes over and over and over ...

@stephensonsco @passingnotes The same jokes and the same truisms, verbal fillers, etc. It's actually pretty scary.

@passingnotes exactly...or "The simple fact is..."

@omrishabi I bet @noajshu and I will have a couple things we want to get done! We love to make the product more accurate and faster. A big part of bumping up accuracy is training our neural networks to be resilient to different types of audio. Got a jackhammer going off in the background audio? We want to make sure that has no effect on the search performance. Also, searching massive datasets is a challenge that we actively pursue. Right now we can search through millions of minutes in a second, but why not billions?

@stephensonsco @omrishabi definitely agree on these two goals. Also want to improve the content navigation UI and crawl media data on the web.

@burrewoo Whoa--this is a use case we never thought of. Analytics for football competitors. I'd love to talk more about this. Are the fouls, red cards, etc. marked by specific phrases?

@burrewoo i can see this working as an extra layer/aide to scouting, with proper training, perhaps not a replacement. think there are too many variables and limitations within normal videos that might limit the output value. i have an active interest in the footie+data space - happy to chat if you're a keen fan

@noajshu Hi Noah, awesome :), you can follow me on Twitter @burrewoo. Some of the actions are but not all of them such as red cards and major events like scoring a goal, controversial goals (offside/foul causing a goal) and so on ...

@doerrfeldbill We were thinking of buying them.

@rdyazdi Thanks Rudy! What would you use it for?

@imranghory We definitely can expose the transcript (there's a DeepGram API call for that), but the error rate in the transcript is highly dependent on the input audio quality (better quality audio has better transcripts, phone calls in noisy cars don't). However, our analysis techniques don't rely solely on the transcript being perfect, which is a feature that really sets us apart—especially for medium to poor quality audio. On prediction: We've built AI prediction layers to do what you are mentioning (predicting outcomes) but we don't rely on the text in the transcript being perfect, we build it on top of our fuzzy key phrase search. Contact us if you need that sort of thing!

@stephensonsco our current dataset is recorded phone calls in mp3 so the greatest, most models that are trained on phone data (i.e. dealing with narrowband) fail on our data due to the lossy compression on mp3. We're looking at switching to uncompressed call recording though. What's the pricing structure for search and the API ?

@imranghory @stephensonsco We'd be happy to talk about our pricing and set up a demo for your call audio! Shoot us a quick message at deepgram.com/contact and we'll be in touch.

@jay_bee12345 We're also very interested in multiple languages (right now it's only English) As for 2), you should check out mashily.com (our mashup generator) if you want to use the search to make a great voicemail sound clip. Reply with the URL if you make a mashup!

@noajshu You are revealing our secret plot to index the world. :-P

@nj_raju I know right?! This is something we want to add soon. Getting it working on different platforms while not frustrating users is a challenge, though.

@iamhabitat Hey Ben! Thanks for the feedback. Are you searching on our homepage? That demo is only for searching within that single creative commons video about the Hoover Dam—we don't yet provide search that is akin to Google for Audio/Video (but we certainly work on it). You can search through other files files (YouTube videos, your own recorded memos, things like that) by creating an account and uploading them to the DeepGram console. Let us know if you have more feedback (also, we have a slack channel—https://www.hamsterpad.com/chat/...!)

@marketplicity We'll check this out right away. What's the YouTube URL? You can also drop us a line at https://www.deepgram.com/contact with any problems. Thanks for letting us know!

@ourielohayon I totally agree! Which platforms would you want to search on?

@abe_storey We might be able to. What kind of product analysis are you looking for?

@stephensonsco What's your email? I'll dm you more.

@abe_storey @stephensonsco Reach out to contact -at- deepgram -dot- com

@abe_storey @stephensonsco Or just leave us a note at deepgram.com/contact :)

@topcities Sorry that it's annoying. There is only a single video to search through as a demo and 'apple' isn't mentioned in the video. You can upload videos from YouTube or your personal audio/video stash by creating an account and dropping it into the console. Let us know how that goes for you!

@stephensonsco The technology is cool. With better messaging on the site I think you'd increase your signup and engagement rates a lot.

@topcities @stephensonsco Thanks! Do you have any tips for improving our messaging?

@noajshu @stephensonsco Sure. 1. Don't make users sign up before trying it. Let users play with it a bit then ask them to register. 2. The video demo has many usability issues. The search box insinuates a user can search for a video, not text within the video. The pink buttons feel like they let users paginate to the next video search result. Might be better if you just made a video explaining the value proposition right above the fold. 3. I didn't realize there was more stuff below the video, because I got stuck at the video section and left shortly after because I didn't really get it right away. 4. The slogan didn't hook me because I didn't get it right away. I was just scanning so probably that's the reason. Perhaps make it even simpler for the average joe to get it. Something like "Search through speech within videos" might be easier to understand. You can always explain in more detail later after the user is hooked.
