Real-time transcription, spoken-keyword monitoring, and what it takes to put a live broadcast in front of a person or an AI assistant while it is still airing.
Trading mention markets before the room hears it
Mention markets on Kalshi and Polymarket settle on a single spoken word, and everyone watches the same feed - so the edge is reaction time, not opinion. How the resolution rules differ between venues, and how to close the gap between a word being said and your order landing.
How to get a transcript of a website that isn't YouTube
