Today’s focus was on getting closed captioning working for Raphael bot. The solution ended up being switching the type of text I was creating and not worrying about the layout and location of the text. Left to the user to adjust the text location, adding the code to send all the transcriptions to the stream was not a big deal. The rest of my time was spent cleaning up the code and documentation. I also dropped a comment on my tiktok showing off the bot on tik-tok that the source code was available on GitHub. The other thing that I learned today was that Raphael is too expensive for most full time twitch streamers. I also dropped a comment on my TikTok showing off the bot on TikTok that the source code was available on GitHub.. The AWS transcription service costs about $0.024 cents per minute. This means that a typical full-time Twitch streamer would spend over $40 a week just on the transcription service. I suppose it’s a good thing that the code is open-source.
