Love Anchor and have been using it since the launch of 2.0. Being able to set up an interview is huge, especially since I'm new to the platform and wouldn't get call-ins regularly. I think a lot of people could turn into young Judd Apatow's with Interviews!
This is a superb idea. Haven't tried it (in UK) but it looks like a very simple and easy user experience, also a very novel application of the Twilio API. Is there a limit on the call length? I'd be also interested to hear if you're using a combination of machine transcription and human or just machine?
@binoyxj that must be to get around Twilio's 2 minute limit for recording transcription. Wonder how good the transcriptions are if they are done by machine?
@_jamesmundy Thank you so much James! There's no limit on the interview time, but as @binoyxj pointed out, we do splice the interview up into 5 minute segments when it's published to your Anchor station. (That's less of a technical limitation and more because we want to respect the format of our platform, where stations are made up of <5 min segments.)
Currently, the transcriptions are automatically created - we're using IBM's Watson to generate them - so we definitely recommend reading through and adjusting the transcriptions before posting them. But our hope is that this saves you at least a few steps!
@mayafish Any plans to apply some sort of post-processing to enhance the interview audio fidelity? The audio output right now is not so appealing IMO. Are the audio over wired/ POTS telephones any better?
