Largely inspired by oTranscribe a client side transcriptions text editor for Fact2's proofreaders to correct automatically generated text from speech to text services

Fact2 (pronounced Fast Squared) uses machine learning & neural networks to turn unstructured video, audio, text, PDFs to rich, searchable structured data.

I was contracted to create an open source transcription text editor for their pool of proofreaders to correct the automated transcriptions generated by their system using speech to text services.
