Convert DeepGram to Descript transcript format
Descript provides transcription as part of their service, but if you already have transcripts, why not use them?
You can use this command to generate a Descript compatible transcript from a DeepGram transcript using jq.
You’ll need to update the speaker labels and may need to make some minor corrections like joining split paragraphs from the same speaker due to mislabelling before importing.
