About

This is a side project, and something I thought was mildy useful. It was fun to work on.

I wanted to be able to find something talked about on my favorite podcasts, but my memory is never precise enough to know the exact words that were said. This uses semantic (vector) search to be able to find concepts, not just exact phrases.

This site is not affiliated with any podcasts. If you are the podcast owner and want it removed, please contact me on mastodon.

It uses whisperX for transcription and speaker detection on a local GPU, and otherwise runs on Cloudflare workers, D1 for full text search, and Vectorize for semantic search. The pages themselves are completely static assets built with Eleventy.

I wasn't able to get speaker detection working very well so it's not available for all episodes. If that's something you know how to do, please contact me.
