Collaborative notes

* <https://bit.ly/2LprQFQ>
* <https://newnews.netlify.com/rd/fastforward/> (idk the password??)
* For alignment
  * Original transcript for show & clean up
  * Use kaldi to time align transcript
  * Custom script to find start/end times of sentences (a gist I can’t copy)
* Kaldi has speaker IDs — manually matches up IDs with pictures/people
* Kaldi is bad at punctuation, so uses original document to help with that
