i think going beyond 5k steps doesn't do much

> My need to improve my models fights with my hate for doing any tedious work.

which is why i strive for progress without having to work

,,or well mostly stealing other people's work, see: the entirety of h,

😩 I'd write a script just to do 90% of that and just check it but Idk shit about coding. At least there's things that make it easier

if you wanna do transcription it's actually surprisingly simple

i still don't have a proper clean notebook but

```py
!pip install transformers

import os
from transformers import pipeline
asr = pipeline(task = "automatic-speech-recognition", model = "boris/xlsr-en-punctuation") #, device = 0) if cpu

files = [f.path for f in os.scandir("/content/wherever/wavs") if os.path.isfile(f.path)]
texts = asr(files)
list_txt = [f"wavs/{os.path.basename(f)}|{t['text']}" for f, t in zip(files, texts)]
with open("/content/wherever/list.txt", "w") as f:
  f.write("\n".join(list_txt))
```

Oh this looks good. seeing those last two lines, I'm geussing something similar to also append new files to the end of the list? Ik there was another autotranscriber mentioned here but idrk python enough to judge

which this also is but i chose a model that adds punctuation

I've kinda just been writing the transcriptions as I cut the files though so it might be something I can work on too.

^ my problem doing that way tho is I forget to actually export it sometimes which is annoying cause I can get like, 500 files then have to find where I got them from

and then because audacity exports label names as titles i can use mp3tag to turn them into a list.txt (though a dedicated script might be better because mp3tag does utf-8-bom which is bad)

the hifi-gan notebook will complain but otherwise 👍

I'd probably need to get a better laptop cause running Audacity on a Intel Celereon Chromebook is not worth the $99 at Best Buy

I'd been meaning to switch over. Though most things I read kinda feel like they're expecting you to have Windows or some other random thing that I don't have atm

personally i can't think of a single thing for which i've needed windows recently

vs several things that needed linux and are either inconvenient or i couldn't get them to work in wsl or vm or such

The only other thing I do have is a phone. I might could get _something_ somewhere to make it work, but I haven't found anything so far

i did make a dataset on a phone once but i wouldn't recommend it to anyone
