#2: Blogs & Tutorials
This month we were able to share a lot of new blogs & written tutorial content- not only made by the Heartex team, but also partners like NVIDIA and community members as well. Here’s a quick list in case you missed any:
NVIDIA’s new blog, Generating High Quality Labels for Speech Recognition with Label Studio & NVIDIA NeMo, co-authored with NVIDIA by our CTO Nikolai Liubimov alongside Product Content and Education Lead Sarah Moir, is a must-read for those training automatic speech recognition models.

#4: Fun Fact
File this under things you never needed to know, but now can’t un-know: Heartex’s mascot is an Opossum. Not to be confused with a Possum, the Opossum is the particular obsession of one of our founders, and has found their way into various loading screens, error messages and, of course, Slack emoji.
…and that’s it for Newsletter #1! As always, join our Label Studio Slack Community to discuss this and all other things Label Studio and ML Ops, and to submit your own content for inclusion in the next Newsletter.
Until then, happy labeling!
