Exercise

Multiple Speakers 2

Deciphering between multiple speakers in one audio file is called speaker diarization. However, you've seen the free function we've been using, recognize_google() doesn't have the ability to transcribe different speakers.

One way around this, without using one of the paid speech to text services, is to ensure your audio files are single speaker.

This means if you were working with phone call data, you would make sure the caller and receiver are recorded separately. Then you could transcribe each file individually.

In this exercise, we'll transcribe each of the speakers in our multiple speakers audio file individually.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Pass speakers to the enumerate() function to loop through the different speakers.
  • Call record() on recognizer to convert the AudioFiles into AudioData.
  • Use recognize_google() to transcribe each of the speaker_audio objects.
