Transcriber

Component/part description

This is the module responsible for generating the transcription, generally using a third party service or API such as IBM Watson one.

It is composed of 2 main components

• Audio converter Convert audio or video to audio specs for stt API

• STT sdk audio to STT API/Service, to receive time-coded transcription.

With Extra:

• Speaker diarization can either happen at the STT API level or as a separate module to be interpolated with the transcription.

And optional:

• Srt parsing. Allow srt as input. In case transcription comes from elsewhere. Can use module srtParserComposer to refactor

• Plain text as input, if you already have the transcription, use something like Gentle to re-align and generate transcription json.
