AssemblyAI

This component lets you convert audio files into text. It’s like having a super-fast typist who can understand different languages! This text can then be used by other parts of Nappai to analyze, summarize, or otherwise process your audio data.

Relationship with AssemblyAI

This component uses the AssemblyAI API to perform the audio transcription. AssemblyAI is a powerful service that specializes in converting audio into accurate text. You’ll need an AssemblyAI account and API credentials to use this component.

Inputs

Audio File: Upload the audio file you want to transcribe. Supported formats include mp3, mp4, wav, m4a, and mkv.
Message: You can also provide an audio file within a message. This is an alternative way to input your audio.
Language: Choose the language spoken in your audio file. This helps AssemblyAI understand and accurately transcribe the audio. The default is English (“en”). Other options include Spanish (“es”), French (“fr”), German (“de”), Italian (“it”), Portuguese (“pt”), Japanese (“ja”), Korean (“ko”), Hindi (“hi”), Arabic (“ar”), Russian (“ru”), and Chinese (“zh”).
Credential: This is your AssemblyAI API key. It’s how Nappai authenticates with AssemblyAI to access its transcription services. You’ll need to configure this once in your Nappai settings.

Outputs

Transcription Text: This is the main output – the text version of your audio file. You can use this text with other Nappai components for further processing.
LLM AudioFile Encoder: This output provides a special encoded version of your audio file, optimized for use with large language models (LLMs) in Nappai. This allows for more advanced analysis and processing.

Usage Example

Let’s say you have a customer service call recording (an mp3 file). You upload this mp3 to the “Audio File” input, select “en” for the language, and run the component. The “Transcription Text” output will contain a written version of the conversation, which you can then use to analyze customer sentiment or extract key information.

Templates

File Message: Add files to Message: Use this to add your audio file to a message before feeding it to the AssemblyAI component.
PGVector: Use this to store and search the transcribed text as vectors for semantic search.
Summarizer: Summarize the transcribed text to get key insights.
Google Drive File Manager: Manage and retrieve audio files from your Google Drive.
Many other components: The transcribed text can be used as input for a wide variety of Nappai components for further processing and analysis. Explore the Nappai component library to find more options.

Tips and Best Practices

Audio Quality: The better the quality of your audio file, the more accurate the transcription will be. Try to use clear recordings with minimal background noise.
Language Selection: Accurately selecting the language is crucial for accurate transcription.
Credential Security: Keep your AssemblyAI API key secure. Do not share it with others.

Security Considerations

Protect your AssemblyAI API key. This key grants access to your AssemblyAI account and should be treated as sensitive information. Nappai employs security measures to protect your credentials, but it’s your responsibility to maintain its confidentiality.
