Description

We should try to get transcripts of the hearings - such as https://malegislature.gov/Events/Hearings/Detail/4292

I see two ways to do this
1) Run our own video file/speech to text software, or
2) somehow scrape the closed captions from the hearing video streams

I hope we can add a "hearings" section on a bill page that would allow a user to view the transcript and the hearing

Ideally, we'd be able to break down the hearing into its key parts, like is done here: https://sg001-harmony.sliq.net/00329/Harmony/en/PowerBrowser/PowerBrowserV2/20220607/4/1913#agenda_
There are a lot of legislature websites that are structured in this format - I think they're leveraging "Sliq Media - Harmony" software. https://www.sliq.com/northDakotaCaseStudy.html

From Mitre session:
19:10 in the video; again at 59:30

UPDATE 10/24/23 --- this ticket was created a year ago. LLM tech now seems to provide much better solutions.
