One of the benefits to machine learning is the ability of Cloud-based servers to do tasks that exceed what we can do on our desktops. An example of this is automated text transcripts. Over the last few weeks, I've interviewed
Philip Hodgetts,
Jim Tierney and, last week,
Martin Baker - all of whom have created applications that automate transcription.
This week, I have a review of
SpeedScriber. Developed by
Martin Baker and the team at
Digital Heaven, it is a stand-alone Mac app that also integrates with all the leading video editing systems. In my review, I include a link to Martin's Buzz interview which provides a better sense of why they developed this. It's my lead story this week.
My webinar last week looked at the power and emotions of
fonts, as well as a lot of interesting background about typefaces. It was a fun session - and well worth watching; either as a download or as part of our Video Training Library. You can see an excerpt in my Articles section, below.
This week, webinars are taking a break while I work on some new projects.
However, the
Digital Production Buzz continues as ever. Last week, we looked at new trends and technology from
Litepanels,
Glyph,
JVC and
Digital Heaven. Then,
Michael Kammes shared his thoughts on new trends that we need to watch in the coming year. It was a good show with some really interesting guests.
Here's the link.
I really enjoy doing
The Buzz every week. We chat with great guests, discover new products and track the latest technology. If you haven't had a chance to tune in recently, this is a great time to catch up.
Well, deadlines are pressing and student projects are piling up. I need to get back to work. I'll chat with you again next week. Until then,
edit well!
