Voice to text Transcription API 1.0
Now developers can access the same high quality voice to text conversion employed by VoiceCloud in their own applications. Please contact us for pricing which is on a per message basis.
Sending Audio to VoiceCloud
Developers will have access to our API function calls which allows you to submit mp3 or wav files to our system. The audio files you submit to us must be hosted on an http server that can be accessed by our software. Once the API call is made, our servers will fetch the audio file and submit it to our queueing system to be transcribed by our agents. The audio files will be accessible from your voicecloud login account including the transcribed text when completed.
Sample Call:
- http://voicecloudURL/api?action=sendfile
&username=youruserid
&devkey=abc123
&idtype=username
&fileurl=http://yourserver/file.mp3
&filetype=mp3
&callerid=18005551212

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<vcapi>
<action>sendfile</action>
<transactionuid>4760</transactionuid>
</vcapi>
The "sendfile" action returns a unique transactionuid number so your system can identify which audio was transcribed when we return the text back to your server.
Receiving Text From VoiceCloud
After the transcription process has completed, the resulting transcribed text and tranactionuid will be submitted to a form on your server as name=value pairs. You will need to supply us ahead of time with the URL to the form on your server. We use a POST method to send this data to your form.
Variables- transactionuid (unique ID number for your transcribed audio)
- transcribed_text
- Perl script which takes the data and appends it to a text file.
