I had a similar idea wanting to play with the AWS / Google speech to text services.

I wanted to pipe in audio of various Youtube tech conference videos then apply some basic taxonomy/tagging and provide full text search so you can find a conference talk which contains some specific technology/subject you want to view.

I ran in to difficulty in technology / software conferences uses very specific acronyms and words that are not very general. Also being international there's many accents and levels of English. This means the AWS/Google API's struggled to translate videos which was also made difficult by using compressed audio streams you get from Youtube vs wavs.

Google offers the functionality to add your own acronyms and products on the commercial speech to text. I think there is even a manual quality feedback loop in alpha.
