The BornHack subtitles project transcribe BornHack talks, to enable folks who have hearing difficulties to access talk content and providing an option to follow talks silently in the background.

The transcription mostly be done with OpenAI Whisper, an open source Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) machine learning model.

There are two main tasks for this project:

• Transcribe talks
• Proof reading and timing correction

The proofreading involves humans to correct context and timing errors from Whisper, as well as ensuring the overall quality of the subtitles.
