Speech To Text Integration (STT)

Nav-icon.png

Integration Accounts > add account > Speech to Text


Speech To Text (STT) integration enables your contact center to use speech-to-text functionality to transcribe voice calls and save the transcriptions to interaction records. Full-text transcripts are searchable and include sentiment attributes (if Natural Language Understanding is enabled).

Bright Pattern integrates with STT providers such as IBM Watson and Google.

Select the type of STT integration.

Google Synchronous Properties

Google's Cloud Speech API converts audio to text. Synchronous STT is limited to 1 recordings, making is useful for Conversational IVR . To transcribe calls, see Streaming STT below. In the Properties dialog, enter the credentials for your Google synchronous STT instance as follows. This allows Bright Pattern to access your STT resource and use it in interactions.


Info.40x40.png Google STT requires a payment method to be attached to the account; without this, the STT service would silently not work, and there would be an error in the Google API dashboard.



Google Synchronous STT integration account properties.


Name
The unique name for this integration account (any)
Type
By default, “Google synchronous STT” because you selected this type when adding the account.
Use phone model
When enabled, Use phone model allows you to use the Cloud Speech APIs enhanced model for phone calls; the setting may be useful for conversational IVR scenarios. Note that this setting is disabled by default.
URL
By default, https://speech.googleapis.com/v1/
API key

The service key ID that is used to authenticate Google's Cloud Speech API. This is generated when you receive credentials for your service account.

Google Streaming Properties

Google Streaming Speech to Text can be used for both Conversational IVR and call transcription. In the Properties dialog, enter the credentials of your Google streaming STT instance as follows. This allows Bright Pattern to access your STT resource and use it in interactions.

Google Streaming STT integration account properties.


Name
The unique name of this integration account (any)

Watson Properties

In the Properties dialog, enter the credentials for your IBM Watson STT instance as follows. This allows Bright Pattern to access your STT resource and use it in interactions.

Watson integration account properties.


Name
The name of this integration account.
Type
By default, “Watson” because you selected this type when adding the account.
URL
Websocket prefix + your IBM Speech to Text URL in the following format:
For example:
wss://api.us-south.speech-to-text.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/1a23456f-121d-4c52-bc06-62168f5a18de
You can find the URL in your IBM Speech to Text service credentials. Note that STT integration uses the secure WebSocket protocol (i.e., "wss"), so only the wss:// prefix is allowed.
Speech detector sensitivity
This setting ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 suppresses all audio and 1.0 suppresses no audio. All tenants with access to edit integration accounts can modify this setting. Non-speech events like coughing and music are filtered.
Background audio suppression
This setting ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 provides no background audio suppression, and 1.0 suppresses all background audio. Volume level is used to differentiate background noise from speech.
Default account
Select the Default account checkbox to enable the STT integration account.
Test Connection
Click to ensure Bright Pattern Contact Center connects to your Watson Speech to Text account.
