    VoiceCloud’s US Patent Number 8,259,910
    (Published September 4, 2012)

“A transcription method for facilitating the transcription of audio messages by a group of agent transcribers, comprising: receiving an audio message from a customer via a telephone; determining whether one of the agent transcribers is available; storing the audio message when an agent transcriber is not available; continuing to determine whether a transcriber is available; streaming in real time a streamed portion of the audio message to a first available agent transcriber for facilitating the transcription of the streamed portion of the audio message into a first portion of a transcription text file; providing subsequently a pre-streamed recorded portion of the audio message to a subsequently available second agent transcriber for facilitating the transcription of the pre-streamed recorded portion of the audio message into a second portion of the transcription text file while the streaming in real time is continuing with the first agent transcriber; and combining the first and second portions of the transcription text file into a consolidated text file.”


Sending Audio to VoiceCloud

Developers will have access to our API function calls which allows you to submit mp3 or wav files to our system. The audio files you submit to us must be hosted on an http server that can be accessed by our software. Once the API call is made, our servers will fetch the audio file and submit it to our queuing system to be transcribed by our agents. The audio files will be accessible from your VoiceCloud login account including the transcribed text when completed.

Sample Call:

  • http://voicecloudURL/api?action=sendfile
    &username=youruserid
    &devkey=abc123
    &idtype=username
    &fileurl=http://yourserver/file.mp3
    &filetype=mp3
    &callerid=18005551212

    optional
    &metadata=
    &customcallback=

Results:

  • <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”ISO-8859-1″?>
    <vcapi>
    <action>sendfile</action>
    <transactionuid>4760</transactionuid>
    </vcapi>

The “sendfile” action returns a unique transactionuid number so your system can identify which audio was transcribed when we return the text back to your server.


Receiving Text From VoiceCloud


After the transcription process has completed, the resulting transcribed text and tranactionuid will be submitted to a form on your server as name=value pairs. You will need to supply us ahead of time with the URL to the form on your server. We use a POST method to send this data to your form.
Variables transactionuid (unique ID number for your transcribed audio) transcribed_text
Sample Scripts: Perl script which takes the data and appends it to a text file.
