Hans Von Spakovsky & "Politicaros"

A snapshot from the app Descript. My free three hours ran out, so I weighed the value of 'speech to text' and bought ten hours. Dinesh's 2000 Mules is a festival for 'both sides' of Election BS. Descript is much more robust and extensively useful than I first realized. In the image, you can see that a video is being sampled. Not shown here is that once your careful transcription correction is done, you can publish the product via HTML webpage embed, or -- wonderfully -- a Tweet containing the direct link.  When a link is shown on Twitter desktop it allows the viewer to search, play, add notes. Robust plus.

I will have to come back and report on the Hispanic mules and fraudsters called "Politiqueros" mentioned in passing by Hans von Spakovsky.

Example of how Twitter embeds Descript items effectively. If you are using desktop Twitter, that is. Twitter on a browser can play the entire video and synced transcript, and let you search for words and phrases and play them as they appear in the video. You have to be inside the Twitter desktop application for the full effect.  Clicking through on this tweet will merely take you to the webpage that Descript provides for projects. The page is worth a visit if you are interested in the film, the hoopla, or want to see how much power Descript has under the hood ...

Politiqueros Politicaros are a thing!

Deleted.

For the record, politiqueros is in Portuguese, politicaros is in Spanish.
