AI Speech to Text
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Speech is an AI service that applies ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) technology to transform audio-based content to text. Developers can easily make API calls to integrate OCI Speech’s pretrained models into their applications. OCI Speech can be used for accurate, text-normalized, time-stamped transcription via the Console and REST APIs as well as CLI or SDKs. You can also use OCI Speech in a Data Science notebook session. With OCI Speech, you can filter profanities, get confidence scores for both single words and complete transcriptions, and more.
OCI Speech features
Prebuilt acoustic and language models
OCI Speech uses automatic speech recognition, a deep learning process, to derive accurate transcription from natural conversations. Get started easily by using prebuilt acoustic and language models that don’t require users to have data science experience.
Analyze data from audio and video files
Search, index, and decipher data buried in your audio files. Convert recorded audio conversations to textual data to analyze with AI services. For example, you can use OCI Language to retrieve the sentiment and OCI Speech’s anomaly detection capabilities to identify chances of customer churn.
Native multilingual support
OCI Speech ASR models support English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so you can transcribe your audio files in your preferred languages.
Integrated transcription service
Eliminate reliance on third-party transcription offerings and practice more control over your data with end-to-end security and compliance.
Easy to integrate
OCI Speech is a versatile service that can be called via REST APIs, different SDKs, and Oracle CLI. Developers can easily deploy a scalable speech service without having data science or ML expertise.
Purpose-built for security and privacy
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Speech protects our customers’ privacy. Prebuilt automatic speech recognition models transcribe your content, but do not store any data for training, debugging, or other purposes.
Integrated transcription service
OCI Speech uses proprietary models and architecture that enables fast conversion for speech into text.
Confidence score per word
We added a word-level confidence score to help you identify words that might have been transcribed incorrectly. Use the word confidence score to determine where to focus when building an application.
Profanity filters
We added prebuilt word filtering using a curated list of profanities. You can either mask, remove, or tag profanities.
