Manage Vocabularies (SpeechContexts)

This is an advanced guide on how to use and manage vocabularies. Make sure you have first read the Custom Vocabulary guide.

Storing and Reusing SpeechContext

Instead of creating a SpeechContext (vocabulary) every time from scratch, you can create a SpeechContext once and refer to it by name when creating requests in the future.

speech_context = SpeechContext(name="my_context")
result = transcribe_file_short(
    TEST_AUDIO_FLAC, client, speech_context=speech_context
)

const speech_context = { name: "my_context" };
const response = await speechClient.transcribeFileShort(
    TEST_AUDIO_FLAC,
    { speech_context: speech_context}
);

See the gRPC API reference for creating, updating, deleting and listing SpeechContext here.

Multiple SpeechContexts

If you have multiple customers, each having their own domain specific words/phrases, then you can create multiple SpeechContexts, one for each of your customers. When transcribing, simply use the customer specific SpeechContext to transcribe that customer's audio. This should result in high recognition accuracy of your customer's specific terminology.

Management Tool

We implement a simple management tool in Python to create, delete, update, list and get SpeechContext objects. See the examples on the usage below.

Create SpeechContext

python3 -m soniox.examples.manage_speech_contexts --create --name my_context \
  --phrases "acetyllcarnitine; zestoretic" --boost 10

Delete SpeechContext

python3 -m soniox.examples.manage_speech_contexts --delete --name my_context

Update SpeechContext

python3 -m soniox.examples.manage_speech_contexts --update --name my_context \
  --phrases "acetyllcarnitine; zestoretic; prednisone" --boost 15

List SpeechContexts

python3 -m soniox.examples.manage_speech_contexts --list

Listing names of speech contexts.
  my_context

Get SpeechContext

python3 -m soniox.examples.manage_speech_contexts --get --name my_context

Getting speech context "my_context".
Speech context:
{
  "entries": [
    {
      "phrases": [
        "acetyllcarnitine",
        "zestoretic"
      ],
      "boost": 10.0
    }
  ],
  "name": "my_context"
}
