Finally, using Google Apps Script, I email myself a weekly summary of tracker/Todoist tasks completed with a comparison versus the previous week. It also contains a link to the graph that is published on the web. I also send this to Drafts using the mail drop feature. Source: 5 months ago

When I want to take notes on something I'm listening to, like a book quote or a thought I have while listening, I stop and make a note right then. Because I don't know if the next paragraph is going to suck me in more and make me forget whatever I wanted to note. I have a few ways to do this.

You could look into https://github.com/guillaumekln/faster-whisper especially the VAD section (Voice Activity Detector) using https://github.com/snakers4/silero-vad. Source: 10 months ago

I also had the same synchronization issue, so I wrote a WebUI/CLI that uses Silero-VAD that first splits the audio whenever there a silent portion (or every 30 seconds), and I haven't experienced it since:. Source: 11 months ago

This might be something I want to add to my WebUI in the future. Source: over 1 year ago
