I wonder if anyone can name the second most spoken language in Russia without looking it up on Wikipedia? I was slightly surprised

It’s surprising that no one has created auto-subtitles for video calls as a plugin for Skype or other conference call software. Besides the huge market of hard of hearing or deaf people who cannot perceive audio but can read subtitles, there is also a need to have transcripts for calls to facilitate quick searching. It is necessary to decipher the voice from each participant separately, so that simultaneous or overlapping dialogues do not interfere with each other. In theory, this could also be done after the call, but by then the voices are mixed together, and the quality would be lower.
For corporations, it’s possible to train the recognizer on specific terms so that it does not stumble over them. The accumulated database for more accurate recognition could even be shared with other companies in the same market, if the client agrees to share.
The next step would be recognizing sign language and lip movements by the same Skype to improve the quality of speech recognition (if there is speech) or gestures (if they are present).

On the matter of how prevalent e-commerce is here. I need to buy a thick mono audio jack to fix a synthesizer pedal—there’s a problem with the cable and the jack. It’s nowhere to be found! You can still find it online with delivery, but that should have been thought of on Friday to do the repairs on Sunday. As for going out and buying it – no such place. But online – five bucks including delivery.

Nadine’s report on yesterday’s Capitals-Vegas game.
A great addition, moving this from the next thread:
“Despite some negative comments under the article accusing our legionnaires of being unpatriotic, Kuznetsov and Ovechkin do much more to improve relations with Americans than the Russian Cultural Center and the Embassy in Washington combined. To make thousands of Americans wear jerseys with Russian last names and yell Russian first names in the streets is incredibly valuable.”
