Topic #: 5

[All Professional Machine Learning Engineer Questions]

You work at an organization that maintains a cloud-based communication platform that integrates conventional chat, voice, and video conferencing into one platform. The audio recordings are stored in Cloud Storage. All recordings have an 8 kHz sample rate and are more than one minute long. You need to implement a new feature in the platform that will automatically transcribe voice call recordings into a text for future applications, such as call summarization and sentiment analysis. How should you implement the voice call transcription feature following Google-recommended best practices?

AUse the original audio sampling rate, and transcribe the audio by using the Speech-to-Text API with synchronous recognition.

BUse the original audio sampling rate, and transcribe the audio by using the Speech-to-Text API with asynchronous recognition.

CUpsample the audio recordings to 16 kHz. and transcribe the audio by using the Speech-to-Text API with synchronous recognition.

DUpsample the audio recordings to 16 kHz. and transcribe the audio by using the Speech-to-Text API with asynchronous recognition.

I see your point, Alba. Let's go with the original rate for now.

I'm with the crowd on this one. Option D is the way to go. Though I do wonder if the audio quality will be as good as a human transcriptionist. Maybe we should hire some really bored linguists instead?

Haha, I'm just imagining the poor interns having to listen to all those long, boring call recordings. Good thing they've got the Speech-to-Text API to do the dirty work!
