Been wanting something like this for years. I have a bunch of old speeches and radio shows I'd like to transcribe. They all have "terms of art", and noone at Google would tell me how to train their API to adapt to my use case. Too bad I missed this Beta; hope you allow more people in soon.
Can you clarify: does your API allow me to run the transcriber, pause it when I see an error, tell it what the corrected text is, then continue with that correction taken into account?
- dylanbfox 9y agoThe way it works right now is that you would upload one of those old speeches or radio shows to the API, and then you'd get back a transcript that includes all the "terms of art" you customized the API to be able to recognize. Right now there's no feedback loop for you to tell the API where it was wrong, but that's something we have in mind to build! We do run QA across our entire API usage though, and from that are able to improve recognition accuracy over time. We also release updates to the models that power the API every few weeks which improves recognition accuracy too. And then we do provide confidence scores, so we can at least give you some indication when we're not confident in the automatic transcript we're returning to you. If you want to try out the API, you can email beta@assemblyai.com and I will look for your mail!
- MycroftJones 9y agoThank you, I will. I also wonder, does your API take context into account? For instance, depending on WHO is talking, and WHAT they've recently talked about in the recording, one transcription may be preferable to another. People often recognize other people by the types of things they talk about, characteristic phrases, etc.
