Configuring live transcription and AI settings

Enter the value in the Transcription parameters field as JSON. To format your JSON into a reader-friendly form, click the Prettify button .

The parameters available depend on whether your system is using Sinch's Base or Plus transcription tier:

Base tier

If you want to turn off capitalization and punctuation, which is on by default, set the value of the format_turns parameter as false in the Transcription parameters field.

Example:

{
  "format_turns": false
}

Plus tier

In the Transcription parameters field, you can suggest language options to the AI for transcribing speech. We recommend defining either one of these options. Use ISO language codes to define the language(s).

Preference:

{
  "language_hints": ["fi", "sv"]
}

These are the languages the transcription model expects in the audio. It will prioritize them when interpreting speech but can still detect and transcribe other languages when they are spoken.

This is also the behavior if language_hints_strict is set to false.

Best-effort restriction:

{
  "language_hints": ["fi"],
  "language_hints_strict": true
}

Transcription will strongly prioritize these languages and will try to produce a transcription only using them. This is a best-effort restriction rather than a strict limitation: in ambiguous or exceptional cases, another language may still be used in transcription. You can define several languages but defining only one gives the best results.

Use this option when the expected language is known and transcription in other languages is undesirable.
