Search for a particular spoken word or phrase about citizen-dj HOT 3 OPEN

I'm fairly certain this is feasible, but it would take some effort.

There's already a fair bit of pre-processing going on to the audio files so I think a step to extract words could fit in somewhere.

@beefoo Is there any hope of actually adding to the site at this point, or is it pretty much frozen now that you're done with your residency?

@camronlee thank you for this suggestion! Yes, this makes a lot of sense for the oral history / spoken word collections; especially if you're looking for specific words or phrases to remix.

As @rhofour noted, this is a fairly common problem, but does require a fair amount of effort to do it well, particularly due to the fact that the spoken word audio (esp the older collections) have mixed audio quality and different dialects-- though I'd say the Joe Smith collection has pretty consistently clear audio.

@rhofour this site is more or less "frozen" at this point since it was funded for the duration of my residency which ended in 2020. That said, it is useful to continue to get feedback and collect use cases since it would help make the case for future support for the project!
