    Transcribe specified hosts

    Real-Time STT supports 2 transcription modes:

    • Channel-based transcription for all active hosts in a channel. To enable it, see REST Quickstart.
    • Transcription of the specified hosts audio only and ignoring all other hosts.

    This page explains how to implement transcription of specified hosts only.

    Prerequisites​

    To follow this procedure, you must:

    • Have a valid Agora Account.

    • Have a valid Agora project with an app ID and a temporary token or a token server. For details, see Agora account management.

    • Have a computer with access to the internet. If your network has a firewall, follow the steps in Firewall requirements.

    • Join an RTC channel as a host and start streaming.

    • Make sure Real-Time STT is enabled for your app.

    Implementation​

    To transcribe a specific host, follow the API call sequence from the REST Quickstart and modify the start request as follows:


    _16
    curl --location -g 'https://api.agora.io/v1/projects/{{appId}}/rtsc/speech-to-text/tasks?builderToken={{tokenName}}' \
    _16
    --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
    _16
    --data '{
    _16
    {{
    _16
    "languages": [
    _16
    "<YourTranscribeLanguages>"
    _16
    ],
    _16
    "maxIdleTime": 50,
    _16
    "rtcConfig": {
    _16
    "channelName": "<YourChannelName>", // The RTC channel name.
    _16
    "subBotUid": "<YourSubscribeUid>", // The unique UID in the channel for the bot to subscribe to audio. Int UID needs to be filled as a string.
    _16
    "subBotToken": "<YourSubscribeToken>", // The RTC token for subBot to join the RTC channel. Optional, based on the RTC channel security configuration.
    _16
    "pubBotUid": "<YourPublishUid>", // The unique UID in the channel for the bot to publish text. Int UID needs to be filled as a string. subBotUid and pubBotUid MUST be different.
    _16
    "pubBotToken": "<YourPublishToken>", // The RTC token for pubBot to join the RTC channel. Apply the admin token.
    _16
    "subscribeAudioUids": [uint], // The UIDs of the hosts whose audio needs to be transcribed, max is 3.
    _16
    },
