I've built countless Internet-of Things, yet I rarely use Web APIs. Today, something changed my mind - filthy lucre. There's also some 3D printing - I need to say that for search-engine optimization. Forget the fourth wall - we break the second wall here at Voidstar Lab. That's the one between the stage and the writer's room.

Deepgram wanted a speech-recognizing project, so I got to combine my very favorite things: wearable technology, Python, and being a public nuisance. A hoodie that transcribes my every word is a unique fashion statement that says "the place where my soul should be is a sucking chest wound that will drag me into a sunless oblivion unless I get constant validation from strangers."

Finally, now I can deal with terrible automated subtitles in real life and not just on youtube
Thanks for puttin actually good subs on your vids tho :)
th-cam.com/users/shortstJFEdxvfShA
To be fair, youtube’s auto subs have gotten pretty impressive over the past few years (at least for english, a lot of other languages haven’t been as lucky)
@@ZeroRelevance the problem is that people see them as an excuse to avoid putting in actual subs.
they also have no sense of sentence breaks or knowledge of oddly specific words. they also get caught up by certain accents and homophones.
@@moth.monster also noteworthy, the way youtube videos are edited often *trim out* sentence breaks, where they might exist phonetically in natural speech. It's a whole "punchy fast-talk" that creators do, because the algorithm & viewers like fast content.
This tech works better if people work *with it*, generally. The same "talk clearly & not too fast" that I've been told lip-readers also prefer.
@@moth.monster They used to allow average users to add subtitles to any videos themselves and allow the community to clean them over time. I am guessing it was removed because of trolls.
This could improvement the lives of the hearing impaired. Such a wonderful idea.
ESL game changer.
Not only hoh folk, also people with auditory processing disorders!
Make it easy, including deployable monitors and the hanging sign. You’ll have customers lining up around the block throwing big money at the systems. That is, not the dozens of dollars a teacher can offer, but the thousands of dollars a district can offer.
Might not be too bad to connect that underlying speech-2-text program to OBS to overlay subtitles on live video
There is ar glass by google for translating speech to text.
Okay, now hear me out... You know those scary spinning "holographic" displays? One of those on your chest could make the text hovering in space under your head just like in a video. You could mount it on headband or hat for added danger.
This is such a good idea
Honestly. Maybe as a backpack but set it up so it doesn't flop around.
That's a great idea.
Added benefit you have a fan pointed at you for these hot days.

I had this on my GOOD ideas list haha. I was planning for it be worn by the listener, displaying with a HUD, and to use small shotgun mic so it would hopefully capture only from whoever you were facing. But now you've done such a great job proving it works, I guess I can take it off the list now. Nice work!
My favourite ideas from your list:
-Mouse that escapes monitor (brilliant concept)
-Numbers you should recognise
-Why still use Arduino? (I'm curious since I use STM32, kinda think I made the wrong choice, but can't back out now haha)
-Primary cells & zinc batteries rule (don't know if it can support a whole video standalone though)
-Tour (always love me a shop tour)
The listener thing actually makes sense from an adoption perspective - only 1 person has to buy it for it to be immensely useful
Having it only work when you're facing the person who's talking will make it a bit useless for some the people who need it most. Eye contact (or anything that gets close to eye contact) is often very uncomfortable for autistic people. And due to our processing issues most of us would really benefit from real life subtitles :D
Hey @Buil_IRL
I am trying to build a similar product , for listeners.
Like a wearable device that takes audio through mic , n display fonts on users glasses.
But I'm facing some problem while choosing what hardware components to use!
Can you help me with this?
as someone who has hearing damage, this warmed my cold dead heart. it seems like a really good proof of concept that could really help out, once the bugs are ironed out and such. also, I'm very appreciative of the subtitles in your videos in general and it let's me actually understand what's going on :)
th-cam.com/users/shortstJFEdxvfShA
Have a look at the last 5 minutes of the Google i/o keynote from last week! Your heart will melt ...
You would do great with having AR glasses with this real time speech API in it.
Hey Zack, this is amazing! I'm super enthusiastic about everything accesibility and this project is amazing. Also, love your approach to projects in general! That part of "having something to show even though is not finished" was ON POINT. I'm going to use it both in my personal life and work! Keep it up.
th-cam.com/users/shortstJFEdxvfShA
My favorite theater did something like this with a live show a few years ago, it was fundamentally different (the show was scripted, obviously, so they had someone up in the booth manually sending lines to the display as they were said, which was apparently quite expensive) and i've been fascinated by real time irl captions ever since. This is such a cool idea, as someone with auditory processing problems and issues making eye contact this would be a lifesaver in so many situations, i hope the community makes some new iterations of this funky wearable!
th-cam.com/users/shortstJFEdxvfShA
I watched a French movie in a Korean theater and used a phone app to play the .srt file.
What a fantastic idea! I need one of these for my wife - when she says something and I’m not listening, I can stare at her chest and pretend I heard her first time!
You seem unhappy in your marriage
how big is her chest screen?
@@strbourne i seem unhappy in your life
Bonus points: you get to stare at her chest

I second the motion, that would look awesome

"I struggle NOT to put electronics in my hoodies" 😆😆😆
As someone with APD (Auditory Processing Disorder for those uninformed) this would be an absolute game changer for me. There are times where you could be speaking without a hard-to-understand accent in a quiet room and it will sound like a completely different language to me, so this would be a lifesaver if this became available as, say, an accommodation for work or something.
As someone who is hearing impaired, This is AMAZING! I wish I had a way to read what people are saying to me. I generally suplimented what hearing I do have with reading lips. Masks killed that pdq. I'm in a constant state of not knowing what people are saying to me now. This is such a good idea.
I'd love to see this used for cashiers more than anything else. I had a really confusing and I'm sure disheartening interaction with a cashier a few days ago where they spoke english as a second language, and there was a ton of background noise, and I can't help but think this could have really been a huge benefit for both of us.
That seems like a really natural integration for speech to text but also speech to text to different language on the display.
What prolonged conversations do you have with your cashiers?
For me it's more like: "Hello, thank you, with card please and have a nice day".
@@Jehty21 Maybe he was trying to return something
I was trying to order some food at a takeout restaurant. It took 3-4 tries to communicate that I was trying to get one item vs. A completely different one. It's mostly situations like that I think, where you're ordering and want to get something specific across. Actually a drive-thru would probably be one of the best early integration points, because both sides typically have a mic and a screen now.
Heck yeah, add a translator to it and you can be understood anywhere.
About the low voltage warning. The only way I was able to get it to go away was using a power hat instead of the usb-c connector and use a 12 volt power supply
He was running a 3B+ which is usb-micro powered not usb-c like the Pi 4. You are onto something though with using the GPIO pins to power even a 3B+ because usb-micro is not meant to deal with the 2.5 to even 3.0 amps a PI3B+ might pull with enough stuff plugged in. Can it? Yes, with the right cables, but they have to be overbuilt basically. USB-C can actually handle that kind of current though.
Well regulated 5V onto the VIN of the GPIO works well provided the power source can deliver.
th-cam.com/users/shortstJFEdxvfShA
@@jbuist That USB-Micro power-plug made me so mad when working with the Pi. Never found anything beside the official Pi power-plug that could deliver the 2.5A with stable 5V over that connector and even the official thing stopped working really soon. Who even thought it was a good idea to use the plug for currents 2A over spec?
@@jbuist adding avoid_warnings=1 to the config.txt file gets rid of the low voltage warning, I did that when I had to run my pi 3 b+ off the charger for my Vita and it worked fine until I got a 3 amp Microsoft micro USB type C charger and a micro USB type C to micro USB type B adapter
Another option is to supply _slightly_ higher than 5.0V to help compensate for any voltage drop in cables/connectors/PCB traces and for the protection diode that I think Pis have.
The official RPi power supplies have output 5.1V for many years now, and I don't recall ever having an issue with those.
Some USB power banks also output around 5.1V, but they're often not very well regulated so the voltage drops under load more than you'd expect from cable resistance alone.
My solution for portable power without low voltage issues has been to use an inline DC-DC boost converter. At low loads it nudges the power bank's 5.0~5.1V up to ~5.15~5.2V, and if the power bank's output voltage dips a bit under load, it'll help maintain that 5.15-ish-V.
Obviously that can't magically get more power (i.e. V×A) from the power bank than it'd normally support, but some power banks are totally capable of supplying >10W but drop to maybe 4.8V while doing so, which is totally fine for most devices, but not the RPi.
Specifically I'm using a modified version of a module from AliExpress: it's based on the G5177C IC, has a USB-A socket output and wire pads on the input, a dark blue PCB, a grey cuboid inductor, and is usually sold with keywords/title like "2.5V-5.5V to 5V 2A USB boost module".
As sold, it's set to output 5.0V, but I replaced one of the resistors in the feedback circuit's resistor divider to increase the output to 5.2V: replace the resistor marked "32D" (the code for 210kΩ ±1%) with a 220kΩ resistor (preferably also ±1% tolerance) for 5.2V. The G5177 datasheet contains the output voltage formula if you're interested.
*Obvious disclaimer:* don't blame me if any of the above damages your Pi, burns your house down, or steals your lunch.
I've been using this with a RPi 3B (or maybe a 3B+; I don't recall) for a few years with no known adverse effects, but I've not tried it with any other RPi models.
5.1V ought to be fine, as that's the official power supply voltage, and I'd expect 5.2V to be ok with all RPis as well (designed-in safety margins, etc) - but again, I can't guarantee anything.
Someone On Discord™ examined the RPi 3's power input circuitry and determined it should handle at least up to 5.3V, but I've never pushed it that far (nor had any need to) and it's always wise to leave a safety buffer :)
I'm planning on a similar setup in XR later this year with project Cambria, but ideally recognising and separately translating different voices for my personal overlay. I work in a very international environment and being able to recognise other people's voices and translating those for me into English would be the initial goal. Good to know this is an option
Would be great to use a similar setup to yourself for displaying what I'm saying in the chosen language on a physical display for communicating back where necessary.
Thanks for the inspiration :)

I found your channel recently and have been working my way through all your videos in my free time. I really love the humour, sense of adventure and your can-do positive mindset.
I studied Product Design at college and usually had some of the weirder ideas/solutions that others poopooed so I love the way you approach and tackle problems. This video was also super cool because it reminded me of a project we did with a charity that assisted blind people in my country. The project really highlighted to me how little time is put into designing for people with various forms of limited access and showed me how impactful design and creative problem solving really could be. I think the origin story/motivation behind this project is excellent, the execution is on point and the clips at the end of you interacting with the public are great. Your insight of people being more comfortable talking to your chest was super interesting too.
Keep up the great work!
Whenever I watch one of your videos, I've always got to allow like 50% more than the actual runtime to allow for pausing and seeking to the blink-and-you'll-miss-it jokes. Love it. 👍
Not gonna lie, as cool as this idea is, all I kept thinking about when you were talking about the idea at the first part of the video and seeing you wear your home-made Google Glass, was why don't they make this kind of thing for people that are hard of hearing? Give them an AR glasses with a speech-to-text program inside it, and if they REALLY are good programmers, make sure the microphone on the AR glasses are very directional, and only translate the speech from the person who you are directly looking at. The person with the AR glasses will have their own personal subtitles for anybody they can encounter!
There is a patent there waiting to happen, I tell you!
Isn't that basically what Google was showing off on the last keynote with their new google glass translation thing?

(at least now its easier to get investor money, because that's how the big ones are operating now, like the Meta without any code, just the idea)
dude, just that a person and a channel like this exists brings me so much joy. So witty, open and brilliant. thnnks
I've just found your channel and love it I don't know how it hasn't shown up sooner. I find your deadpan self depreciation humour is right up my alley and downright hilarious
Coincidentally I just a couple weeks ago learned how to use Python async because I needed it for a fun project! Thanks for publishing your code, Zack. You're an inspiration.
I love your videos and I love that they have subtitles. I still struggle over words like parmesannikdifidsks but like, I’m also probably dyslexic so there’s no way to help me... Great job!
As someone with a hearing impairment, automatic captioning has been making my life a lot better recently. In particular, for some reason I find it a lot easier to follow videos when I have youtube's automatic captioning turned on, even though it's usually pretty inaccurate - though no substitute for proper captions, so thanks for taking the time/effort to subtitle your vidoes! Looking forwards to seeing what the future brings in this area - some cool audio filtering hearing aids can't be that far away either!
my wife likes to watch the show moonshiners with the captioning on, but at some point they switched to automatic captioning and it's a trainwreck.
she's from the west coast and can't understand them sometimes. i'm from the south and can understand them just fine.
I hope most media stays with proper captioning. people like you and people learning english from pop culture will have a bad time otherwise.
@@NamesGolden I hope so too (though automatic captioning is only going to get better, and bear in mind there's a huge range of how good different software is), but there is an awful to of stuff on the internet thatis never going to get proper captioning, and automatic captioning is a great help for this.
I don’t know why but I wasn’t in a rush to watch this video when it appeared a few weeks ago. I have to say that I LOVED this project though! I’m a fairly recent subscriber and this has solidified the channel as one of my top favourites 😁
This isn't silly at all, it's fantastic! Maybe it's still coming later in the video, but real-time translation would be amazing too!

this thing really is fantastic.
i'd love to see him try a V2 with a flexible display, or a transparent display also mounted on his shoulder like a speech bubble. or integrated into a face shield.
this is absolutely a legitimate thing IMO and all those versions could be fun and have their use.
YEEEEE I CAN FYNALY GO TO JAPAN
Good work Zack! I'd love for more speech to text things in the wild.
And here I thought it was "for all intents and porpoises" all my life. Thanks, Zack!
FYI, regarding the low voltage warning on a Pi 3. Little-known fact, the Pi 3B is designed to run on 5.1v, not 5v. The official pi power adapter does deliver 5.1v, but most other adapters, and of course power banks will deliver 5.0v. I was dealing with the same issue for over a year on my Pi 3B, the only thing that solved it was to buy a real 5.1v power adapter.
Awesome video. I would love to have one of these on my car window for when someone does something to annoy me on the road!
Scale it up so it fits the whole back window, to help the person behind you to read your expletives, right?
Ice been watching your videos for a while now. I genuinely can't tell if you're a better comedian or EE-tinkerer. Keep up the good work, and keep having fun with your scripts.
Wow, impressive API, impressive capabilities given it's over the net. But more so, impressive that you got it working so well despite your hatred of code and getting the idea wrong before you signed up! But yes, I want to repeat many of your projects for myself, this one I want to make for other people. Seriously, I know why we don't have these out there more often - the pauses in the conversationas well as the rapid failures to correct for accents. But I am surprised corporations aren't trying harder to get subtitles out into the world - they really are helpful.
So I'm here to request:
*EXPLOSIVE NERF DARTS
*Csting 3d prints in candy
*Prints of darkness
*(C+=)
This is an amazing product. Maybe the dependency on WiFi/4G/5G could be replaced with a well trained AI (sorry, deepgram! 😁). That would be amazing.
Another nice idea: LED panel on the car with messages for the car behind us (I'm going slow because the baby is sleeping).
we already have a product like that for cars. I remember a friend had it and we had the lyrics of Never gonna give you up on it because we're mature people. It was stuck on with suction cups and it was surprisingly secure lol.
Your projects are soo awesome. Keep up the good work!
I freaking love your videos. What I would do to be able to think of some of the things you do! Another great video dude!
I wish there was something like micro center on Italy. Maybe in the biggest cities there is, but where i love there's nothing :(
They're rare here in the USA as well. There are only 25 throughout the entire US. I'm grateful I happen to live near one of them (although my wallet isn't so happy 😆).
I try this back in school to talk to my friends that is hard of hearing. It didn’t work well. Speech to text suck back in 2008.
This is such a great yet simple concept. And for a first iteration it looks impressively solid.
This is fantastic man! Keep up the great work!
As someone who uses subtitles, this is really cool! And I really appreciate there even being subtitles! However, the fact that you put [REDACTED] in place of the swears is incredibly frustrating.
I had no idea what was being said. Yes, I understand that the swear is censored in the video as well, but it’s censored in a way where you can still figure out what word is being said. I understand demonetization is a thing, but I wonder if there’s a better way to censor the subtitles so that people like me don’t get lost.
Something like ‘S&$!’ Or ‘sh-ty’ Might even help get the idea across.
If you guys need an example, 0:49 is a great one. If you had NO context, you can understand why I might’ve gotten confused about what the heck was going on. The sentence, without any context that it’s an adjective, just doesn’t make much sense.
I hope this doesn’t come off as harsh! I think the concept of everything here is great, and I honestly really appreciate having the option for subtitles, this is just something that has bothered me for a while.
The idea is good, but doing it over a external service is a privacy nightmare. This can be done offline, and you even save on battery for the network connection.
From what I've seen and read local processing isn't as reliable as this looked, and is very unlikely to be as convenient to work with - still be my prefered method though, as who wants an external dependency when you don't need it. However where privacy is concerned these days it seems anything you say in a public space is very very likely captured and recorded at least once, may not be easily intelligible over the noise floor with things like trains going by etc, but there are just too many microphones and cameras around for another one to make a blind bit of difference really. Depressing as that thought is.
WHO CARES ABOUT YOU INANE CONVERSATIONS
Props to your supporters, these are the best patron names I've seen in any Patreon-supported TH-cam video. "Good Lady Nat, Queen of Lemons. Victor of the Great Citrus Wars"...I can't even
My favorite part of this video is seeing the previously spoken text so you can peak behind the curtain and see the kind of invisible editing that goes on behind the scenes
I had a girl in my class in high school that could only hear in one ear so we had two payed interpreters in the back of the class that wrote down everything everyone said and the words popped up on a screen next to the girl so she knew what everyone said. Also we had speakers in the front of the class and the teacher had a microphone wrapped around their head like in theaters. All the students had microphones on our desks that we picked up when we wanted to speak. We eventually got used to it in the three years we went there.
They paid 2 adults actual salaries to transcribe everything everyone said and stream it live to a screen because of a child who was not even fully deaf or anything, just someone who can hear as well as a teenager wearing one AirPod… yes that sounds like something that would totally happen. Meanwhile in the real world, schools are so underfunded that over 90% of teachers spend their own money on school supplies and other items for their students, to use in the classroom. And not just a little bit, an estimated $750/year as of 2021. Your fantasy school sounds great though.
Subtitles are always auto-on for me on mobile - no matter how often I change my preferences. It is soooo annoying and probably the reason why it shows as 15% usage for you.
This is so annoying, only way to get rid off subtitles on mobile is to change you phone language to english. Seems like youtube thinks nobody can speak more than one language.
@@anttii thanks for the advice - being bilingual (or more) really is the standard among most people I interact with in day to day life. Weird it is bit factored in by companies like Google 🤦🏻
Meanwhile - I speak English as my native language, and still actively turn on Subtitles on nearly every Video, even watching on the Roku
No. I watch foreign languages I vaguely know and often forget to turn off subtitles, which is also part of that 15%.
That was next level cool AND crazy. Love your videos!
Very much appreciate that you threw MY name at it first during the patron call out. Damn near expected it to read "Gomez."
Does it come with expletive filtering? I would definitely need it to come with that...
It ducking better
@@snarkylive Yes, it does, for ducks sake
You wussy.
Nice idea! Uploading recordings of strangers to the cloud is questionable though. Here, we call it a wearable gdpr violation. You're certainly not allowed on my premises with that thing. If you can't do it locally, don't do it (general rule for ai).
Yeah, that's precisely what concerns me as well. The idea is really cool, but this should _really_ not be sending off real-time recordings to some random company...
I'm glad we don't have that gdpr crap here. Seems overly restrictive and completely unenforceable.
What an awesome project and a perfect balance of polish and jank. Great job!

Oh thanks a lot man. Clearly this is how Skynet gains awareness. Your subtitle hoodie gets it's wires crossed with your teleprompter monocle and they enter an endless loop arguing with each other.
you never miss, every episode is 10/10.
Man, you're already so talented as hacker, why did you have to be so funny too, leave some talent to the rest of us!!
this def top 10 on my list of your brilliant ideas.
Your videos are such a pleasure.
And also hilarious!
I’d love to see a V2 of this!
This is an awesome idea, and as someone who has dated a hearing impaired person I understand how much this would be appreciated!
your vids are so entertaining and interesting! I always crack a laugh, it's a certainty!
This such an incredible project, there are so many applications!
Another amazing piece of tech and video to go along. Thank you!!!
The cut off thief? 🤣🤣🤣. Great Video Zach!
This concept, with a mic that picks up the person Im facing and the Optigon as a display sounds like a genuine dream product.
Fantastic idea, and awesome execution!
What a cool project I could totally see this being useful especially with a translation layer on top

Endlessly entertaining as usual. If you're ever back in NJ I'll buy you a drink.
I just opened this video to give it a like just to say thanks for the gridfinity project, I have printed 3 rolls of filament and my electronics are so nicely tidy now, thanks :)
1st, it's a Zack video so it's at least A+
2nd, this is a hugely powerfull too for accessibility! Seriously important stuff!
I love this channel, always funny, witty, entertaining, and very smart.

"All and all," "From the gecko," and oh so many more. Aggravating but delightful.
I am hoh and this was an awesome idea and so much fun. i keep wanting your glasses so i can run the google chrome app that then will give me live cc from everyone! : o D lol my dream since a kid isnt too far off. So happy to see this coolness in my lifetime. cc is a game changer for any hard of hearing or deafie!
This is a pretty incredible project! Very awesome!
May I make a suggestion instead of screws put magnets on both halves so you can switch sweatshirts easily and also a neck hanging version for people who want to talk to someone deaf and don't know sign language and lip reading is hindered by mask,mustache, beard, etc.
This is amazing how well it works. 👏
zach you did it again, thanks for the project inspiration
This is a super cool idea and a great first implementation!
3:46 "so less interferance from other people in the conversation if.. I ever give them an opening" That's a whole mood right there 😂😂😂
I have cochlear implants now but during school I would open a Google meet with myself just to have subtitles generate for me so I could understand what the teacher was saying as my hearing got worse over the pandemic.
This project is really cool
Bravo. Standup and tech, never gets boring!
This is a really cool idea. I really enjoyed this video.
Came for the tech, stayed for the exquisite word choice
I'm seriously impressed with how well this works.

Amazing build. One trick I would sugges: run cables inside your hoodie, should help with the snagging.
This could be phenomenal in schools just as a board in the classroom. Not even just for deaf or hearing impaired but also to allow teachers to still communicate effectively when they have something like a loud AC unit in the room or need to demonstrate something
I'm 3 minutes into this, and this guy is now my favorite youtuber, ever.
Zach, you dream like I dream.
This is actually huge. I want to build this kind of display for captions on that 3D printed Simpsons TV.
thats a genuinely useful project, i cant think of a bunch of popel that would really benefit from that, not just becuase of the Rona but also people with hearing or speech problems. Fantastic work zack
As someone that's hard of hearing this is a great idea!
Crazy DIY cyberpunk contraption that is actually practical. I subscribed for stuff like this 👍
3:44 "easy to hide". That's important, because subtlety is the key for this project😆!
When you said "my comfort zone" it only registered "my come zone" and its the best thing i've seen in a while
Another beautifully inspiring, informative, exquisite, hilarious video from our intergalactic overlord!
This guy cracks me up. I subscribed after just listening to him for 60 seconds.
Love it Zack!
This is fantastic. At work we have a colleague who's deaf and my poor charades and lack of sign language skills have always made it extremely difficult for me to properly communicate with him. I would love to try out this project. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting and making an idea workable.
Well, why not learn sign language yourself? It's fun and you don't have to learn many things, some kind of half backed dialect between you two is enough. You'd be surprised how fast can be picked up. I have someone I care for and did it that way. As he was little and deaf from birth this was the only option. I learned that my language is not the same as sign language. Shocker, I know. But then I learned that written words same thing. As he never heard any sound and written language is dependent on spoken (not sign), words to him were just as Egyptian pictograms - meaningless pictures. So, he could not hear, could not read and could not speak. 10 years later, I do sign language and he can read some English words found in game menus. For the longest time he knew only one word and could read, write and say it in a particularly strange and funny way. It was a short 4 letter word. Used when you are very upset but can be pleasurable. You know... :-)
I actually was trying to pull this off but couldn't find a pi and didn't quite have the skills. Stoked to be able to potentially use this to actually do the project.
The pi low voltage warning is the bane of my life, sometimes there's no pattern to it appearing despite trying all kinds of PSUs.
Wow! Yeah, I think I'm gonna look into deep gram because this idea is amazing. A lot of my family is hard of hearing (myself included) and for a lot of my life I've imagined something like this. Even as the idea became more viable, I never wanted to use the huge companys' AI because lord only knows what they are doing with our conversations. I wouldn't commit to the full hoodie but just having a tablet with the PI, battery, screen, and a place to plug in and hang a mic when not in use could potentially be a game changer for a lot of people.
Thanks for solving the real problems
This is a awesome concept! I hate repeating myself and this wold be cool to have!
I love the way it transcribed comfort zone.
Never subscribed to a channel so quick
i love reading the code comments in that code, they just make me laugh and are relateble (as a coder)
