What is this?

Transcritter is a tool to help automate the creation of transcriptions from audio files. The way it works is:

1. Upload an MP3 file to an S3 bucket
2. This triggers a lambda that will set up an AWS Transcribe transcription job
3. Once it finished another lambda is triggered over the result to format it

• The input file must be an MP3 although Transcribe accepts also MP4, or WAV file formats
• Less than 4 hours in length or less than 2 Gb of audio data
• Transcription settings are currently hardcoded on services/Transcribe

Deploying

Using serverless framework this will create:

• S3 transcritter-transcriptions buket
• Lambda transcritter-dev-format-transcription
• Lambda transcritter-dev-start-transcription

1. Set up a serverless AWS profile: serverless config credentials --provider aws --key {AWS_KEY} --secret {AWS_SECRET} --profile transcritter

IMPORTANT: Use an IAM user with limited permissions. You can use ./deployer-policy.json. (be aware that it has full permissions over transcritter-* named S3 resources)**

2. Run make deploy
