Secure and scalable speech transcription for local and HPC

A production-ready, local transcription workflow using OpenAI's Whisper, designed for security, scalability on HPC, and advanced quality control. It overcomes the privacy and reproducibility limitations of cloud-based services, offering a robust alternative for academic and enterprise use.

Incentives for good research software practices

Software is increasingly becoming recognised as fundamental to research. In a 2014 survey of UK researchers undertaken by the Institute, 7 out of 10 researchers supported the view that it would be impossible to conduct research without software. As software continues to underpin more research activities, we must engage a variety of stakeholders to incentivise the uptake of best practice in software development to ensure the quality of research software keeps pace with the research it supports.
