Any plans on open-sourcing your ATC speech models? I've long wanted a system to take ATIS broadcasts and do a transcription to get sort of an advisory D-ATIS since that system is only available at big commercial airports. (And apparently according to my very busy local tower, nearly impossible to get FAA to give to you).

Existing models I've tried just do a really terrible job at it.




I've thought about the same thing; transparently, we were trying to get a reliable source of ATIS to inject into our model context and had the same issue with D-ATIS. What airport are you at? Maybe we whip up a little ATIS page as a tool for GA folks.


That would be awesome! My airport is KPDK (sadly it doesn't have a good liveatc stream for its ATIS frequency).

I did collect a bunch of ATIS recordings and hand-transcribed ground-truth data for it a while ago. I can put it up if that might be handy for y'all.


If you're willing, that'd be great. I think our model will do well out of the box, but more data is more better as they say.

I spent a lot of time out at PDK when I worked briefly in aircraft sales. Nice airport!

Let me work on this and come back! I think we can ship you an API for ATIS there...
