    Very cool, it’s a nice way of following the news without too much distraction. I can just glance at the screen every couple of minutes to read a section.

    Would you mind describing the process / tools for building this?

      First foremost, the capability. Works only one TV stations

      I have my phone streaming payed app, many stations. Connecting to laptop using a double jack cable, the laptop is an old linux laptop with microphone port

      Now i did some magic to use the local chrome speech to text inbuilt, that doesn't consume using API, it rather wastes charging the laptop Tell me if you want the source code for the node.js project

      Note: if you use the service I'll make sure i don't close the laptop.

    This is great, except this not the CNN from the US. Looks to be CNN international. [1]

        That is great. I tried to use your site today but it seems to not be working.

    Nice, I had a chuckle when in the middle of a discussion about some of Nixon's political experience had got stuck trying to decipher who "Kruse Jeff" was only to realize it was Krushchev. :D

      Sorry for that, it's an inbuilt speech to text.

      Whisper adapting would cost me a fortune

    Cool project! This post also appears to be the second result on google when searching "vercel app" (as of +7 hours from your post), which I also found interesting.

      I'm not aware of search engine, can you elaborate?

    Would be nice to have translation for non-English audiences in real time. Granted not something can be done easily except using something like chatgpt

    so cool! If you connect to a Cartesia text to speech news anchor voice, you could remake the news...
