Note
Speech-to-text audio transcription is in limited early release and must be enabled by Vivox. For pricing information and to enable this service for your organization, contact your sales representative.
When a player is in a channel with another player who has speech-to-text transcription enabled, their speech is transcribed and sent in the following conditions:
- If a player is within audible range when audio transcription completes, and they remain within audible range until the transcription is sent to the client, then they receive the audio transcription.
- If a player re-enters audible range while they are speaking, then everything since they last entered audible range is transcribed.
A transcription is not sent in the following conditions:
- If a player leaves audible range during the delay between the completion of speech and when the Vivox SDK receives the transcription, then no transcription is sent.
- If a player leaves audible range during transcription, then no transcription is sent.
Note
There is a delay between the completion of speech and when the Vivox SDK receives the transcription.
Speech audio volume does not generally matter for speech-to-text transcription, only whether the words are spoken clearly. Hardware level or software volume adjustments that change a user's audio volume, such as IAudioDevices::SetVolumeAdjustment() or , do not impact the accuracy of transcribed speech. However, a person who is speaking quietly or is mumbling can negatively impact transcription, although this is beyond developer control.
