Learn how to integrate Zoom API for accurate speech-to-text results. Zoom, the popular video conferencing platform, offers a feature that allows users to record each participant’s audio on separate tracks. This capability, although not widely advertised, can significantly enhance the accuracy of transcription services when combined with AssemblyAI’s multichannel transcription technology, according to AssemblyAI. Understanding Multichannel Recording By recording each participant on separate tracks, users can avoid the common pitfalls of overlapping speech that can confuse speech-to-text models. This method of Channel Diarization ensures that each utterance is accurately attributed to the correct speaker, providing a more reliable transcript than traditional Speaker Diarization, which attempts to separate speakers on the same track using AI. To utilize this feature, users can set up their Zoom accounts to record individual audio files for each participant. This can be done through Zoom’s settings, where users can choose to record locally or to the cloud. For cloud recordings, users might need to upgrade their Zoom accounts to access this feature. Integrating AssemblyAI for Transcription AssemblyAI offers a robust solution for transcribing multichannel audio. By using their API, users can transcribe each participant’s audio track individually, which improves the accuracy of the transcription. The process involves fetching participant recordings using the Zoom API, combining these recordings into a single file where each track is a separate channel, and then transcribing the combined file using AssemblyAI’s multichannel transcription feature. To get started, users need to clone the project repository from GitHub, create a virtual environment, and install the necessary dependencies. After setting up their Zoom and AssemblyAI accounts, users can configure their systems to fetch and transcribe recordings. Technical Setup and Execution The technical setup involves several…
