Automating transcript from Google Hangout call

[aidan-lane]

As we discussed in the meeting today, it would be nice to have a transcript using the Google API of the hangout call. Additional features could include:

• automatic formatting
• allowing user edits

List of things added/to add:

• Video upload
• Video -> audio conversion
• Audio -> text conversion
• Support multiple file types
• Transcript to website viewer
• Data streaming
• Move to app engine (depends on file size quotas)

Quick Update: Cloud functions have a timeout time of 9 minutes which makes transcribing longer videos impossible. Going to try and migrate to app/compute engine.
