Speech Translation: start task

POST 
/api/technology/speech-translation-whisper-enhanced

Start an Enhanced Speech Translation Built on Whisper task for a media file.

Features of Enhanced Speech Translation Built on Whisper​

  • Multi-channel audio files are supported.
  • Channel ID is included in individual translation segments.
  • The target language of the translation can be specified with the output_language query parameter.
  • Source language for translation of the whole media file can be forced with the source_language query parameter, otherwise it is detected automatically.
  • Language switching can be activated with the language_switching query parameter. With this feature, the technology automatically identifies the predominant language spoken within each thirty-second segment of the file and uses it as the source language for translating that particular segment.
  • If source_language is set, language_switching is ignored.
  • A language explicitly set as the source_language must be licensed. Otherwise, an error is raised.
  • When the source_language is autodetected or language_switching is used, only licensed languages are considered as the source for the translation. In case the actually detected language is not licensed, the closest licensed language is used instead.
  • Processing can be limited to a specific time segment in the media file with query parameters.
