El Minutador
In the media sector, especially in the informational field, the transcription and editing of audio and video represent time-consuming tasks. This includes managing extensive interviews, conference sessions, press conferences and speeches, and more. Achieving accurate transcription and efficient transcriptions is crucial for effectively editing programs and selecting segments of interest to the public. At Telecinco, for example, significant time and resources are invested in these activities due to its extensive morning and evening informational programming.
To solve this problem, WhiteBox launched “El Minutador”, an innovative solution aimed at optimizing this process. The product integrates advanced data engineering technologies and asynchronous processes that allow the real-time extraction of audio and video from the main television channels in Spain, through their digital broadcasts. It uses deep learning models for transcribing and diarizing audio. Implemented in the AWS cloud, El Minutador also offers the possibility of uploading videos or audio directly from a mobile device and instantly obtaining their detailed transcript, without the need to connect to a live broadcast.
El Minutador has become an essential tool for media professionals, providing significant time savings. This additional time allows journalists to focus more on creating and developing quality content, substantially improving the information they provide to the public. In addition, El Minutador eliminates one of the most monotonous and least appreciated tasks in the field of audiovisual production, thus improving the well-being and efficiency of work teams.
