I’ve never been big about celebrating my birthday. I’m not sure why. I don’t recall any childhood trauma around birthday parties. Whatever the reason, my birthdays have come and gone without much fanfare. Perhaps a quick visit to my mom’s where I would be treated to my favourite dessert: Betty Crocker Cherry Chip Cake with French Vanilla icing. Pure nostalgia from when she’d make it when I was a child. If she didn’t make it, I’d make it for myself.

Big milestone birthdays like turning 20, 30, or 40 didn’t really feel important or necessary to especially celebrate, nor did I feel any particular existential dread.

This year is different.

I am turning 50. Thankfully, existential dread has been kept to a minimum. I’ve never really had an issue with aging—although society does tend to look more kindly on older men, beauty-wise. I don’t feel that pressure to stay (or look) young. Good thing, too, because that gray hair is pervasive, if you know what I mean.

I did see this milestone coming, though, and with the 50 Before 50 challenge, I had thought to culminate that adventure with a final dinner on or around my birthday. But I finished that a year ago. Whatever shall I do?

Multiple celebrations.

I’ve got three separate parties planned: One in Ottawa with friends, one at my uncle’s farm with family, and another in NYC with another group of friends. I’m very grateful for the friends and family I have in my life and what better way to celebrate fifty revolutions around the sun on this planet than to hang out with them while enjoying some great food.

Here in Ottawa, I booked Perch, which is one of my favourite restaurants in the city. I’ve been a few times and have always enjoyed their understated yet elevated food experience. And in NYC, I booked Atomix, which is one of my favourite restaurants in the world.

After this, I can go back to small cherry chip celebrations. For isn’t it great to be able to enjoy and celebrate each day we’re on this planet? No need to save it up for one big day of the year. (or, er, half century.)

Experiencing three or more concussions is linked with worsened brain function in later life, according to major new research. The study – the largest of its kind - also found having just one moderate-to-severe concussion, or traumatic brain injury (TBI), can have a long-term impact on brain function, including memory.

A multi-institutional team of investigators has discovered that targeting a specific neural circuit through noninvasive neuromodulation may help reduce symptoms in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience. Jordan Grafman, PhD, professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and director of Brain Injury Research at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, was a co-author of the study.

A commentary, published in the Journal of Neurotrauma, calls for traumatic brain injury to be recognized as a chronic condition as are diabetes, asthma, depression and heart failure. To provide comprehensive care for traumatic brain injury throughout individuals' lifespans, the authors propose that coordinated care models they and others have developed, tested and applied to various populations—including older adults, individuals living with depression and post-intensive care unit survivors—be adapted to improve communication and integration between brain injury specialists—including physical medicine and rehabilitation clinicians—and primary care physicians, fostering better long-term patient care for traumatic brain injury survivors and more support for both patients and their families.

How and why should healthcare providers ask patients if they have PTSD?

We're excited to announce the release of our new speaker diarization feature! With our latest update, we can now detect individual speakers within a single audio recording, allowing users to see precisely who said what and when. This information is then reflected in the transcript.
Previously, this feature was only available in Multitrack Productions.

What is Speaker Diarization?

Speaker diarization is the process of identifying different speakers and segmenting an audio file accordingly, making it easier to accurately determine who said what. This is particularly useful in scenarios like meeting recordings, interviews, and podcasts involving multiple speakers.

What's New

Until now, Auphonic users had to use our Multitrack Production Workflow to gain access to speaker identification. With our recent update, this feature is now also accessible for single track productions, thereby further simplifying our workflow.

How It Works

When selecting Auphonic Whisper ASR as your speech recognition engine on our production page, the option to use “Speaker Detection” appears. You can select the number of speakers in the recording yourself, or have the AI identify and label them automatically.

Select "speaker detection" in the speech recognition menu

The identified speakers will then be shown next to what they said in the captions of our audio player and within the generated transcript. We know exactly who is saying what at any given time.

If you need to change speakers' names, you can edit them in our Transcript Editor. By changing the name of the speaker, the changes will be applied automatically within the whole transcript.

Click here for an example transcript to play around with!

The transcript editor also lets you edit the generated transcript's content and correct any mistakes. This gives our users the final say in quality control.

For more information on how to use our transcript editor, click here!

Conclusion

With our newly released speaker detection feature for single track productions, we simplified the automatic transcription process even further. You can drop a single audio file into our algorithms, the AI automatically detects and transcribes its contents and attributes speakers correctly. And if the model should unexpectedly be wrong at any time, you can correct it in our Transcript Editor.

Feedback

We're looking forward to having you utilize our new speaker diarization feature!
Please, feel free to send us feedback through our Contact Form or submit it directly in the status page of your production.
Happy detecting!

In a world that often emphasizes grand gestures and monumental achievements, it’s easy to overlook the profound impact of small actions. Yet, it’s these minuscule steps that are the true catalysts for change and progress in our lives. “Tiny Experiments.” I keep these words on a Post-It note on my monitor, a daily reminder that the key to unlocking my potential and propelling myself towards my desired future lies in the willingness to take small, manageable actions. Now, you might be skeptical. What can you really accomplish in just a few minutes? The answer is—a lot more than you think. Examples of Tiny Experiments Here are some of the tiny experiments I’ve integrated into my routine: A Ten-Minute Run: It’s short, yes, but it boosts my energy and clears my mind, making me more productive. One Strategic Email: Something as simple as sending an email can advance my projects, like moving forward with an upcoming TV series. Fifty Pushups: This quick burst of physical activity increases my physical stamina and mental toughness. Ten-Minute Meditation: Helps me center my thoughts and combat the stresses of daily life. A Five-Minute Call: Reconnecting with a friend or family member, like my mom, nurtures...

Words and tools are powerful, but are they our only way of making a mark? *Pause for emphasis* Stephan Moccio doesn’t think so. An artist, composer, and producer, he’s the name behind some of the most well-known songs and soundtracks on the planet. But surprisingly enough, all that success with sound has come through silence. In this podcast, I have the privilege of sitting down with him to discuss how strategic refrain and thought can benefit creative power. Creativity as a Muscle Skill can come naturally, but people rarely get to the top through their natural-born talents alone. Even 6’9″ LeBron James wouldn’t be where he is as a basketball player without putting in the unseen hours of success. Whether physical or mental, training effectively determines performance. “I’ve learned that to get great things and to achieve great things requires a lot of work behind the curtain…” Creative practice isn’t different from other forms of training in that making a habit out of it is hard. We all have lives outside of our passions, and those passions aren’t always fully funded. Many of us work day jobs while pursuing creative endeavors. Stephan has had to balance paying bills, raising a...

In this episode, I sit down with Jodi Wellman, who calls herself “The Grim Reaper’s Cheerleader,” to dive into the deep stuff—how thinking about our own mortality can actually help us live more fully, with no regrets. Jodi breaks down her 4000 Mondays project and how we often get stuck fantasizing about our goals instead of taking real action. I also share a bit of my own journey after selling my company, where I had to rethink what really matters. We talk about the power of breaking out of our routines, why journaling can keep us on track, and how small, intentional changes can make a big impact on living a meaningful life.
