Transcribed police scanners in real-time

I really like this idea - it also has the side effect of making all of these streams easily searchable later on.

That being said, transcription still isn't at the point where it can understand radio garble.

Reminds me of the early days of Google Voice voicemail transcription.

Absolutely agree. I feel like the next step here would be to:

* Put the audio clip next to the transcribed text

* Flag transcribed text which fails some heuristics

* Allows users to suggest edits to the transcription

* Train the transcription models on contributed edits + police specific lingo

Cooperative community editing, genius-style, would be perfect. Big events would lead to incredibly accurate transcripts.
