Too Long; Didn't Read
Last month Cloud Speech <a href="https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/08/Cloud-Speech-API-improves-longform-audio-recognition-and-adds-30-new-language-variants.html" target="_blank">introduced</a> a new word-level timestamps feature: audio transcriptions now include the start and end timestamp for each word. This opens up tons of possibilities: developers can now skip to the exact moment in an audio file where a word was spoken, display the relevant text while audio is playing, or search a library of audio for a specific term.
