i need to find a way to be able to get sound file from an podcast rss feed and automatically put it into a transcribing software (preferably free). Alternatively I need a way to check if a new video has been uploaded to a channel and transcibe it.
I tried Zapier but it didn't quite integrate with a transcription software called Grain.co alternatively otter.ai would work too.

I have ~300 vinyl records which I want to attach RFID tags to so I can place one on an RFID reader and trigger playback of the album on my home Sonos (using Google Play Music).
Is there a way to load a specified resource from a service into a group? I was able to follow through the Postman tutorial, and was maybe thinking that I could set up each album as a Sonos Favorite and load that, but I'm looking around and see that there is a (very low) limit on how many favorites you can have, so this doesn't seem like a workable solution anymore. I've been digging around the APIs and can't quite find what I'm looking for in the Control API.
Ideally I'd have each RFID tag contain something along the lines of artist name, album name, and some Google-Play-Music-specific album ID, which I can use to load the album into a fixed Sonos Group queue. If there's a better approach, however, I'm also all ears.
The Sonos API doesn't offer a way to load and play content from another service (other than commands in the favorites namespace) unless that service provides an interface to get the Sonos IDs without authentication. An alternative is to host your own files and build a SMAPI server or use a mediaUrl to your audio file in the track.
See the SMAPI sample server and Tracks in the cloud queue in Play audio (cloud queue) for details.
I have a system in PHP, and i will receive photos from users, that are scanned photos of their personal documents... and i want to smart remove (auto crop) the boundaries of the photos, to leave ONLY the personal document (as a drivers license).
I spent hours looking, but were not able to find an API service that does that...i ll i can find was SDK for ios or android...
Any one has a suggestion?
I would want to replicate what dropbox did:

Thanks
Filestack provides these services. In particular, the Document Detection endpoint has the following description:
You can detect your document in the image, transform it to fully fit the image...
I want to create an application capable to play YouTube video's audios and also save the downloaded content in a local cache, therefore when the user decides to resume or play the video again, then it doesn't have to download part of video again but only download the remaining part (User can decide what to do with the cache then, and how to organize it).
It is also very convenient for mobiles (it is my main focus) but I'd like to create a desktop one too for experimental purposes.
So, my question itself is, does YouTube provide any API for this? I mean, in order to cache the download content I need that my application download the content and not any embed player (also remember that it is a native application). I have a third-party application in my Android system that plays YouTube videos, so I think it's possible unless that the developers use some sort of hack, again this is what I don't know.
Don't confuse with the web gdata info API and the embed API, this is not what I want, what I want is to handle the video transfer.
As far as I know, there is no official API for that. However, you could use libquvi to look up the URLs of the real video data, or you could have a look at how they do it and reimplement it yourself (see here).
I have some podcast feeds already up and running in iTunes for my client, but we're thinking of switching their audio from self-hosted to SoundCloud.
Is it possible to use the SoundCloud API to get an mp3 download link and the file length for uploaded tracks?
As an example, here's the enclosure tag from the existing feed for a recent podcast episode:
<enclosure url="http://marfapublicradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/TLK-130813-Steve-Murdoch-WEB.mp3" length="28077244" type="audio/mpeg" />
If I could just insert SoundCloud track data for the url and length attributes I'd be good to go, but after a brief look through at the API documentation I'm not sure whether it can be done.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Seeing this in the related questions list:
SoundCloud, download or stream file via api
led me to further examination of the API docs ( http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#tracks ), where I found that the track properties do include download_url and duration.
So the answer to my question is "yes, it is possible".
Edit as of September 2, 2013:
I was able to make a download link, but only one that initiated a download dialog, and not a URL for an mp3 file that would be appropriate for me feed's enclosure tag.
I tried e-mailing the SoundCloud api support e-mail address, but got no response. I then tried their general support e-mail, and did receive a reply telling me that the answer to my question is NO.
SoundCloud's api does NOT support .mp3 URLs to drop into the enclosure tags in my pre-existing feeds. It was instead suggested that I apply for their podcasting beta, which I will now investigate.
Dealing with this myself at the moment. While I am not immediately seeing a direct link to an mp3, I have noticed that the value for the waveform (a random BBC stream used here) can be used to form a working mp3 url:
First get the track info:
https://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=https://soundcloud.com/bbc-media-show/nikkei-buys-financial-times&client_id=[yourClientIdHere]
Notice the waveform url:
7Yp3d9EHloKg_m.png
Use that identifier (remove the _m) to form the working stream URL.
http://media.soundcloud.com/stream/7Yp3d9EHloKg.mp3
Forgive my poor text formatting here... I have never used stackoverflow before.
I was doing some research to find out ways that would allow me to stream music on my website legally. I came across iTunes partner program which allows to stream music on a website through their embedded players. I was wondering is it possible to stream iTunes music through your own custom player? If that is not possible via iTunes, then what other methods are available?
You could do this with a server software like Icecast, there is some good tutorials on setting this up here: http://www.icecast.org/docs.php
Depending on how many browsers you want to support you might want to setup two streams, one in MP3/OGG and a "backup" stream in Flash. Then add some detection as to what the browser supports and present the correct stream (i.e.: Use the HTML5 <audio> tag for playing MP3/OGG to browsers that support this, and use your flash stream for the rest)
their program allowing playback of music in the iTunes Store is likely only for those with the intention to sell music, without providing a commerce business, you'd be breaking their partner program T&C's.
