ASR

(If enabled for the site)

The "ASR" Delivery method sends the audio of the current media for the node to an external service for Automatic speech recognition. The result will be parsed into PlintsPlint's internal subtitle format and attached to the current node. This means that a subsequent job in Plint Subtitler (such as post-editing) will automatically load this file for further work. 

A typical setup:

  • A project with the correct source language specified
  • Attach/upload media to each part, in typical fashion
  • After the media steps (i.e. upload/convert/verify), add an ASR job
    • This job can be attached to the part itself, or to a target language
  • Follow this with a online editor job,job, for reviewing and adjusting the file

Once the media has been verified and this job is set to Done,Done, the ASR job will trigger automatically.  When this process is completed, the ASR job will change status and the review/post-editing job will become open for work. A subtitle milestone will be stored and can be seen under Review / Track changes. to enable easy comparison between the original and final versions. 

Settings

There are two main settings which can be applied to the ASR job:

  • Service
    • Depending on what is enabled for your platform, options may include Azure,"Azure", AWS,"AWS", and others. 
  • Segmentation rule
    when
  • Rule-basedsplitting segmentationthe willtext baseinto individual subtitles, basing the subtitle length on the minimum/maximum duration settingsetting. 
  • whereasWhereas Sentence segmentation will allow longer clips,clips and base the clip length on punctuation,  leaving the splitting for the post-editing stage. 
  • With both types, the Clip separation rule matching the project/job will always be applied to ensure that correct spacing is used between subtitles. 

Things to note

  • The ASR process can also be run "ad hoc" using the microphone icon in the joblist
  • An ASR job set to "Awaiting corrections" will not run automatically
    • This status is used to indicate that something went wrong with the process and something will probably need to change before another attempt is mademade. 
  • Ensure that the service you select supportsupports the current source languagelanguage, or the process will fail.
