AssemblyAI

AssemblyAI is a leader in Speech AI to power world-class products with unmatched accuracy, breakthrough speech-to-text models, and profound speech understanding.

Setup

The AssemblyAI provider is available by default in Orate. To import it, you can use the following code:

import { assemblyai } from 'orate/assemblyai';

Configuration

The AssemblyAI provider looks for the ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY environment variable. This variable is required for the provider to work. Simply add the following to your .env file:

ASSEMBLYAI_API_KEY="your_api_key"

Usage

The AssemblyAI provider provides a single interface for all of AssemblyAI's transcription services.

Speech to Text

The AssemblyAI provider provides a stt function that allows you to create a speech-to-text transcription function using AssemblyAI. By default, the stt function uses the best model.

import { transcribe } from 'orate';
import { assemblyai } from 'orate/assemblyai';
 
const text = await transcribe({
  model: assemblyai.stt(),
  audio: someArrayBuffer,
});

You can specify the model to use by passing it as an argument to the stt function.

const text = await transcribe({
  model: assemblyai.stt('nano'),
  audio: someArrayBuffer,
});

You can also specify specific AssemblyAI properties by passing them as an argument to the stt function.

const text = await transcribe({
  model: assemblyai.stt('nano', {
    punctuate: false,
  }),
  audio: someArrayBuffer,
});
