Hi Natalia,

I do use AI to assist with the editing and translation.  Mainly Descript, which very successfully trims out ums, ers, stutters etc, in both transcript and video/audio. However there is still a major element of manual correction after that. 

Descript, in fact also did the translations (except for Arabic and Russian - for those I used  Google). Obviously I couldn't correct the other languages, but Descript does actually permit collaboration, via shared projects. Something to think about.

I also may use a Python script called BatchWhisper on some jobs. Works well.

Yes, I do use Otter, as does Zoom, for live real time text, but now I invariably use these other tools to process recordings.

One irony is that AI rather than lightening, has ended up massively adding to my workload. Now most of my time is taken up correcting edits and transcripts. (This at the same time as ISOC pulled my funding last year, under the pretense that now everyone has Zoom, they no longer need livestream support. Hope lingers they may yet see the error of their ways.)

My latest thing is using ChatCPT for reformatting /  summarising transcripts. What I have noticed that fed different language versions of the same thing and asked to summarise in that language, the format can be quite different, perhaps reflecting the practice of its speakers.

But certainly,  AI-powered transcription and translation is now improving at a fast pace. Way better than even a year ago.

Dear Joly,
huge thanks for this work and this step to real multilingual inclusion for all.
I just thought recently about which tools we may use within ICANN to translate everything (docs, recordings, zoom realtime meetings, to get summary) - AI or something else?
When we incorporate it finally we`ll see a real impact and engagement of many more members in the processes (many of not english speaking members are stopped with disability to understand what is happening and being discussed).

While someone are thinking - you are doing-)

It is VERY helpful! Thankful for this!



Sincerely,
Natalia Filina

The New Generic Top-Level Domains (gTLD) Program is a community-driven initiative that's enabling the continued expansion of the Domain Name System. Through the introduction of new gTLDs, including domain names in a variety of scripts and languages, the program aims to encourage innovation, competition, and consumer choice. At this RoundTable we will hear last updates about readiness of the ICANN, lessons studied from 2012, new gTLD market statistic and case studied, DNS abuse and general aspects of effective developing of TLD and reflections different stakeholders.
