Playfinder Turns Football Gamebooks into Player Clip Queues
A browser-based tool that searches play-by-play football PDFs and transcripts to find one player’s plays, stats, and corresponding audio clips.
Field notes
Playfinder pairs a digital football gamebook with a broadcast recording: the PDF supplies player identity, play lines, clock times, and official statistics, while the transcript supplies searchable audio mentions. The interface includes a review stage for possible spelling errors, with Confirm, Skip, and Recheck actions before clips are exported. Processing is described as local, with model downloads of roughly 670 MB for experimental Parakeet or 330 MB for Whisper Small English.
