At my last company that did video streaming of indy films, we used rev.com for captions. They charged about a $1 a minute. Captions are a little different as they include other sound clues like "Door Slamming" and "Phone Ringing". I have to say the Rev API is very good and we were able to process about 6,000 films through them. Tim On 8/2/18 11:11 AM, Heather Gray via grc wrote: > Thanks everyone.

It was back in 2012 that investigators first ran into Fabrice Polynice, a programming provider, along with Harold and Veronise Sido, who own property in North Miami where the station?s transmission equipment was allegedly located. After various complaints and investigations, in 2017 the FCC imposed a penalty of $144,344 against the three for their alleged longstanding joint operation of an unlicensed FM broadcast radio station on 90.1 MHz, which the FCC said Polynice operated from the Sidos? residence in North Miami. The investigation showed that Polynice actively promoted and broadcast unauthorized radio transmissions, while the Sidos made their property available and otherwise supported, participated in and acquiesced to the station?s operation. ?[This] item takes enforcement action against intentional violations of our rules by the landlords,? wrote FCC Commissioner Michael O?Rielly when the action was released. ?I firmly believe that this is a vital step towards ending the practice of pirate radio operations. If the pirate is unable to find partners that enable the operation, it will have a hard time accessing our airwaves.? *[Read: In Largest Penalty to Date, FCC Fines Both Pirate Operator and Property Owner]* After the initial fine was proposed in 2017, Polynice and the Sidos responded to the FCC with several arguments as to why the forfeiture should be reduced or cancelled ? citing lack of notice, lack of citation, impermissible selective enforcement, lack of evidence and an inability to pay the proposed forfeiture. Among other issues, Polynice argued that he did not receive any Notice of Unlicensed Operation from the FCC and, therefore, he did not have notice that his actions were illegal, he said. Polynice also argued that the FCC is engaging in impermissible selective pirate radio enforcement and that it only has circumstantial evidence about the alleged broadcasts ? seeing that the FCC did not directly witness Polynice actually broadcasting on the station, he said. For example, he argued that there was no evidence he was broadcasting from the shed on the Sidos? property. Agents did not go into the shed, and that because the agents did not see equipment in the shed on the last site visit, he is not liable, Polynice said. He also argued that the proposed fine should be reduced or cancelled because of his inability to pay it, the FCC said. The Sidos also responded to the Notice of Apparent Liability and said they rented the shed in their yard to Polynice but ?were never involved with, or aware of, any illegal pirate station operating on our property.? But after reviewing both responses, the FCC said it found no reason to cancel, withdraw or reduce the proposed penalty, and would assess the $144,344 forfeiture that was previously proposed. ?Contrary to Polynice?s argument, the commission did not need to find Mr. Polynice in the shed in which some of the equipment was operating in order to find him liable for operating an illegal station,? the FCC said. ?Evidence demonstrates that Mr. Polynice produced radio programming for an illegal station, and advertised that he did so via social media available to the public.? When it came to the Sidos? response, the FCC said the couple had received numerous verbal and written warnings from the FCC regarding the radio station operating on their property over a period of years, including the fact that that radio equipment was seized from the shed on their property in 2012. The station?s broadcast antenna was plainly visible in the Sidos? backyard, the FCC said. Additionally, in December 2016, Sido reposted on his Facebook page a 2014 video showing he and Polynice in the studio itself. Initially, the FCC had proposed a much larger forfeiture ? that of $710,000 ? which was based partly on imposing a base forfeiture of $10,000 for each day the unauthorized radio station was operated. But the maximum forfeiture under the Communications Act in this case is $144,344. And although Polynice provided tax returns for three years that show an income of around $16,310 in each year, the FCC declined to reduce the proposed forfeiture ?based on the longstanding and egregious nature of [the] misconduct.? ?A violator?s ?ability to pay? is only one of several factors the commission must consider when determining an appropriate forfeiture,? the FCC said. O?Rielly directly addressed Polynice?s concern that he did not receive a Notice of Unlicensed Operation. ?The commission is not required to issue a citation to those operating a pirate radio station,? O?Rielly said. ?Beyond not being required by law, in many instances involving pirate radio, issuing a citation can be counterproductive. ?In a game of whack-a-mole, locating and taking enforcement action against pirate operators is tough enough,? he said. ?Warning enterprise pirates that you are on to them can send them underground, or onto another frequency, increasing the time it takes to get the pirate off the air.? *[Want more information like this?

An Announcement Regarding Sunday's Shooting: At approximately 3 AM Sunday morning, a man wearing a mask and hood entered the WORT station and opened fire on three DJs in the broadcast studio. Witnesses say five shots were fired, injuring one DJ in the buttocks and shattering the glass between studios. The injured DJ was sent to the hospital and quickly discharged. There were no major injuries or fatalities. After the shooting, police secured the area and did not allow DJs entry to the premises. Due to the investigation, the station experienced radio silence Sunday morning before resuming normal programming at 9:38 AM. A motive is still unknown and it is unclear how the assailant entered the building. Police say there is no sign of forced entry. Police do not have a suspect in custody. We want to thank everyone for the support. Already, the phone calls and concerned messages are flowing into the station. Our station has faced many challenges over our 40 years on the Madison airwaves. And, as always, the community has responded to lend a hand. This is when the community in community radio shines. Board President David Devereaux-Weber was notified as soon as police arrived and was on scene shortly after the shooting. Multiple volunteers arrived individually in the early hours of the morning to help get the station back on its feet. The station is back on the air and will be tightening security.

Her family thought she had fallen under a curse that in parts of rural Burkina Faso is believed to happen when a bird flies over a child asleep outdoors. Her father, Tibandiba Lankoande, spent most of his money on traditional remedies but this didn't work and on the sixth day she fell into a coma. "That's when I heard a message on the radio explaining how to recognise the signs and symptoms of malaria," he recalled. "If I hadn't heard that radio message she wouldn't be alive today." 'Gold-standard' trial The radio messages were part of a huge trial led by Development Media International (DMI), which sought to find out whether mass media could have an impact on people's health. Roy Head, DMI's chief executive, said: "If you are the minister of health of a typical African country and you have $30-$40 per head of population to spend on health, you are literally deciding who lives and who dies, and so anything that you spend your money on has to be proven. "And it has not been proven until now in a gold-standard scientific trial that mass media can change behaviours, let alone save lives." The organisation produced 150 different one-minute radio messages focusing on the signs of malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia - three of the biggest killers of children under-five in the country. The messages were broadcast across seven local radio stations, 10 times a day, for three years. [image: radio show in action, rural Burkina Faso] DMI Radio is the dominant medium in Burkina Faso The results, published in the journal BMJ Global Health, show that in the first year of the trial the number of consultations at local health clinics for symptoms of malaria went up by 56% compared with areas where the messages weren't broadcast. Consultations for pneumonia increased by 39% and diarrhoea by 73%. And though the researchers weren't able to prove this directly, they used computer modelling to estimate that their project saved 3,000 lives - all of children aged under five. Local and interactive Social psychologist, Dr Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington, of the London School of Economics and Political Science, who looks at the psychology behind behaviour change, said she was surprised at how marked the change in behaviour was. She told the BBC: "People were increasing by a huge amount the likelihood that they were going to get these symptoms checked out." She feels part of the success is because rather than just relying on one-way communication, researchers developed regular interactive shows that allowed people to discuss their questions and concerns. Dr Sheehy-Skeffington added: "They also worked with local people in developing scripts, dramas and stories that are really engaging and get people's emotions going and make it much more likely that people are going to change behaviour based on listening, as opposed to just thinking that it is just information given to them from some expert." [image: A village in rural Burkina Faso] Admi People involved in the trial had to walk an average of 6km to their nearest health clinic Media-usage habits in Burkina Faso are fairly unusual. According to DMI's research much of its rural population listen to community radio stations in their own local languages. The national station, on the other hand, broadcasts mainly in French. And access to TV in rural areas is uncommon, which means the trial had a fairly captive radio audience. 'Child of the radio' The big question is whether this type of health messaging can have the same success in other parts of the globe where multiple radio and TV stations and the internet all compete for people's attention. And it is clear that the media cannot do it alone. Good public healthcare, sanitation and nutrition are crucial to child health. That said, while millions of children are still dying of diseases that can be prevented or cured, tuning into the right message, at the right time, might just help save a life. As for Marieta, everyone in her village now calls her "the child of the radio".

Click here [image: Across Women's Lives] Dear AWL fan, We thought you should be among the very first to hear some exciting news ? PRI has announced that it will merge* with PRX*. Building upon our shared foundations, we aspire to create a vibrant public media organization that is grounded in extraordinary storytelling and journalism, that is more fully reflective of our complex, diverse nation, and that takes full advantage of rapidly changing technologies to reach and engage our audiences. As a public radio fan, you are probably familiar with PRX, which distributes *This American Life, Reveal, On Being *and* The Moth Radio Hour.* These are natural complements to our core programs, *PRI?s The World?, The Takeaway *and* Studio 360*. PRX also operates one of the most dynamic podcast portfolios in America. *In both 2015 and 2017, PRX was recognized by Fast Company as ?One of the Ten Most Innovative Companies in Media.?* MAKE A GIFT Together we will reach more than 28.5 million listeners and users each month across broadcast and web and have 56 million monthly podcast downloads. While our organizations could continue on parallel paths, *there is urgency in our decision to come together now*. The sheer volume of audio content produced today is dizzying. Or deafening. By one estimate, the number of active podcasts in production has rocketed from 60,000 in 2015 to more than 600,000 today. Some of these are insightful and inspiring, but many simply add to the noise. The number of homes with smart speakers has more than doubled in the past year alone, and commercial entities are racing to exploit this latest channel. As the volume increases, it becomes harder and harder for essential voices to break through. Even the best work can be drowned out by well-financed, commercial products. And just as important voices are overwhelmed by the noise, many public radio stations are being out-innovated by commercial channels that tend to invest in technology and marketing while skipping past original, important content. Together, *PRI and PRX will dedicate our combined resources and expertise to ensure that important new talents are supported as they grow, that stations have the support they need to reap the benefits of new technologies, and that the highest quality journalism and storytelling reaches the broadest audience possible ? without paywalls or conflicted commercial interests.* There is, of course, much more to say about this transformative merger, and you can expect updates from us in the coming weeks and months. At the moment you can read a Wall Street Journal article , in which I am interviewed about the merger, a press release , and an FAQ about this news, with additional detail about PRX. I also encourage you to reach out to me or members of our team, if you have particular questions that are not addressed. Last, *I want to thank our partners at WGBH Boston*, who are making a transformative investment that will help fuel the merger, deepen our commitment to global journalism, and launch a new production studio.
