This is why -1 is the default value for interval. Because the transcription process relies on context to determine additional probability, it is also not recommended to set the interval parameter to zero. Because specifying a segmentation length could split utterances and not periods of silence, it is not recommended to specify a positive segmentation length. An argument of -1 indicates that the entire file should be transcribed at once (hence no segmentation), and an argument 0 indicates segmentation by each word, which are determined by periods of silence. Specifying segment length risks segmenting the audio during an utterance or spoken word. The interval parameter in sendAudioGetJobs specifies segmentation length for transcripts in milliseconds. In order to examine which languages are supported, the printLanguages function can be called to list all the language codes to the user. The default in sendAudioGetJobs is “en-US” to indicate American English, but other languages can be specified instead.
#Transcribe audio file code
When posting to the Speech Recognition API, a language code must be specified.
If it finds one, it avoids posting the file to HP to minimize upload time and API Key usage. The transcribeR package not only uses Job IDs to retrieve the status, but the function sendAudioGetJobs checks to see if a file already has a Job ID on the transcribeR CSV. Users can retrieve the job status and transcript at any time via the Job ID. The Speech Recognition API keeps track of requests by assigning each one a Job ID. API Keys are passed as parameters to the functions sendAudioGetJobs and retrieveText. An API Key can be obtained by making an account at HP IDOL OnDemand's Website. In order to use the Speech Recognition API, one must have an API Key. When the call is complete, the JSON object has the “finished” status and the transcription. Instead, HP IDOL OnDemand provides a Job ID for tracking the status of the call, and connection with the API does not need to be maintained. Because the transcription process takes a nontrivial amount of time to complete, the requests cannot be completed simultaneously, so the output isn't immediately available. POST posts a file to the API and GET retrieves the resulting JSON object, which contains the status and output. The two requests required for calling the API are POST and GET. The transcription time of the video depends on the length and the segmentation of the video, and it can take anywhere from 0.05 to 0.20 seconds per second of video. It can work with both local audio and video files as well as video files available from a URL. HP IDOL OnDemand's Speech Recognition API is trained to transcribe both audio and video files of human speech. HP IDOL OnDemand's Speech Recognition API In addition, transcribeR currently supports uploading the following file formats: WAV, MP3, MP4, WMA. HP IDOL OnDemand Speech Recognition API Key The transcribeR package has the following easy-to-obtain dependencies: Hence, all of the information about the audio files and their transcripts is stored in one CSV, eliminating potential confusion and alignment errors that could arise from storing the filename, job ID, and transcripts in separate files. Once all the files are posted to HP, the transcripts can be extracted with the retrieveText function and stored in the same CSV. The same function stores a list of the Job IDs returned by HP into a CSV file.
The transcribeR package allows users to send all the files in a specified directory to HP IDOL OnDemand's Speech Recognition API by using the sendAudioGetJobs function. The transcribeR package provides convenient access to HP IDOL OnDemand's Speech Recognition API and allows for audio and video files to be processed en masse, with all input and output organized into one file. As a consequence, valuable data to social scientists and historians are being locked away in traditionally intractable audio and video formats.
#Transcribe audio file archive
Politicians and other speakers increasingly turn to YouTube and other video-sharing websites to both convey their messages to millions around the world and digitally archive their speeches. The package is easy to use with the related R package stm for the estimation of audio and video topic models. The transcribeR package is built to request and receive transcriptions from HP IDOL OnDemand's Speech Recognition API.
