Methods and systems are provided for effectively managing power discharge within a group of devices. An orchestrating device specifies a group of member devices at a location between which power is capable of being transferred. Discharging metadata of at least some of the group of member devices that are potential discharging devices capable of acting as a discharging device at a current time is obtained. The discharging metadata may include: a charge available in the discharging device for discharging to a receiving device, and discharging capability data for discharging the discharging device by current transfer to a receiving device. A preferred potential discharging device to act as a discharging device based on evaluation of the discharging metadata may be determined.

Managing power discharge within a group of devices

A system and method related to creating a reference transcript for a portion of audio data that includes natural language using a speech-to-text recognition process executed at a reference speed. A threshold deviation may be identified from the reference transcript. A plurality of generated transcripts may be generated for the portion of audio data using the speech-to-text recognition process executed at a plurality of increased speeds that each exceed the reference speed. A generated transcript of the plurality of generated transcripts that is the closest to the threshold deviation without exceeding the threshold deviation may be identified. The generated transcript may be generated at a respective increased speed of the plurality of increased speeds. An increased playback speed may be determined for the portion of the audio data based on the respective increased speed of the generated transcript.
