Using a Rode Wireless Pro microphone which I magnetically attached to the cabin ceiling speaker, I captured some of the mandatory announcements that you hear at some point during the afternoon.

I'm aboard MSC Seaside cruise ship, and there are speakers in all cabins, hallways and even the bathrooms.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Iā€™m assuming the non-English is Italian?

@KyleBorah@mastodon.social It is, yeah. MacWhisper even picked it up as such and wrote that in the transcript which I thought was cool. It didn't write out the words, but it wrote the fact that it noticed Italian.

@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com @KyleBorah@mastodon.social If you presented the Italian section only to Whisper, and set the primary language to Italian, and told it to translate to English, it would. I have had Whisper transcribe some Portuguese recordings very successfully.

@kevinrj@mastodon.social @KyleBorah@mastodon.social Oh I know, it definitely would. Transcribed a whole youtube video this way.
