Asynchronous transcription

In order to perform an asynchronous transcription, you must use a combination of the Generate pre-signed URL and Get transcription status functions.

Performing an asynchronous transcription

Below we will recommend a procedure to complete this task:

1. Generate a Pre-signed URL for the audio file you want to transcribe. Remember that all the features to complete this task can be found at: Generate Pre-signed URL.
2. Upload the audio file to the generated Pre-signed URL. Below is a Javascript example that performs this task:

fetch(presingUrl, {
  method: "PUT",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "audio/wav",
  },
  body: preRecordedAudio as File,
})
  .then((response) => {
    if (response.ok) {
      // implement logic for successfully request here
    } else {
      // implement logic for unsuccessfully request here
    }
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // Implement the logic here when an exception occurs
  });

From this point on, all that remains is to wait for the audio transcription to finish. To know when this process ends, we can use two methods:

1. If the callbackUrl parameter was sent when generating the Pre-signed URL, once the transcription is finished, the result of the transcription will be sent to the URL passed in this field.
2. The /api/get-transcription endpoint can be called. For more details on how to use this endpoint, you can see the section: Get transcription status.
