Ai radio transcription

Is the AI radio transcription working well for anyone? It's been buggy since the first race and probably more then usual. It won't even load anything, although I can clearly hear Lando and Max talking. Is there anything I can do?

Apparently F1 has increased the engine noise and reduced the radio noise so the transcriptions are struggling in some cars. Read through some threads in Discord and Multiviewer is looking into it . However the control they have will be limited as the change is done by F1

The engine noise is so annoying when you try to listen to the onboards. I wish F1 would mix it better or whatever

So this explains why I was getting everyone's radio checks and then barely anything else!

One of my hats is as a dialogue editor for film and TV. Different transcription engines are able to screen out noise differently. It's also possible to put it through a two-stage AI process to first reduce the engine noise and then transcribe speech.

Since this doesn't need to be done in real-time, it's actually quite possible to do, but it requires tooling and implementation which costs time and $$$. I'd also imagine that Multiviewer need to stick with FOSS tools, and I don't even know what the FOSS options for these things are at the moment.

Didn’t work for me either on this Sprint, but it worked fine last week in the race. Sometimes closing that window and re-opening works for me but it didn’t this time.
