Thank you for sharing this! One thing I noticed is that, to benefit from the natural language processing tooling, you had to first transcribe the audio. Is there some mechanism for avoiding that pre-processing step with the help of speech recognition models (e.g., OpenAI's new Whisper model)?

Steamship works a bit like the the heyday of jQuery plugins:

File.import(url).transcribe('service').tag('service').query('..')

Except instead of manipulating a web page like jQuery, it orchestrates remote NLP workflow over your data. We haven't released our SDK yet, but we're working to make a bunch of awesome reference plugins to let folks mix and match different models out there.

Whisper will definitely be in the mix!
