micahcmiracle7d agoMy wife's grandfather was a Hindu pundit in Fiji. Before he died he asked me to record his story.
For approximately 50 minutes, he spoke as I monitored the room mics.
It is all in Fiji-hindi. Neither I nor my wife can accurately translate it.
I would live to get an accurate translation (including slang he may have used, etc.)
Any ideas on how to do this? #asknostr

mar7d agoupload it to AI, I uploaded a Chinese message written with pencil on paper that someone wrote to me that is over a decade old, it was starting to fade. I used a scanner and chatgpt was able to read the Chinese characters and translate to it. 100% perfect. I was amazed. I'm glad I held that message all these years.

micahcmiracle7d agoSo, i tried 2 things. I uploaded handwritten kannada script to chat gpt and it lied about what it read several times.
I uploaded the audio I spoke of to another site and it did catch some things... but not 50% of it, and likely not accurately.

micahcmiracle7d agoTo add to the intrigue, he talks about his parents (or grandparents) being lied to in order to get them on the ships from India to Fiji.
He talks about the cannibalism of native fijians.
He talks about a time he spoke out against the government of Fiji just before leaving (bravely).
At one point, he recieved a letter from the Queen of Elizabeth for his work in Fiji organizing resources and building roads (without pay).
