Overview
A decision pattern for selecting the audio input source (file upload, cloud URL, or audio stream) for speech-to-text transcription based on availability and processing requirements.
Description
Audio Source Selection determines how audio reaches the STT system. Three modes are available:
- File upload: Local file sent as multipart form data (batch STT)
- Cloud storage URL: HTTPS URL of audio (batch STT, up to 2GB)
- Audio stream/URL: Live audio for realtime STT (via manual chunks or URL+ffmpeg)
The choice depends on where the audio resides and whether real-time processing is needed.
Usage
Choose file upload for local files, cloud URL for remote files, and streaming for live audio.
Theoretical Basis
# Decision pattern
if audio_is_local_file:
result = stt.convert(file=open(path, "rb"))
elif audio_is_remote_url:
result = stt.convert(cloud_storage_url=url)
elif audio_is_live_stream:
connection = await stt.realtime.connect(options)
