Connecting to a Nuance server for audio transcription
As of SDL Machine Translation Edge 8.0, you can connect your SDL Machine Translation Edge instance to a Nuance server you purchased separately. If you have an audio file (.wav) you want to translate, the file must first be transcribed by Nuance before SDL Machine Translation Edge can translate it.
Procedure
What to do next
You can now translate audio files from formats that Nuance accepts into text translations:
- In the Web GUI, drag and drop an audio file via the Quick Translate page or use the file browser. Only
.wavfiles are currently supported. - In the API, follow the steps for submitting a file for translation, but specify the audio 'mimetype' as the InputFormat. Remember to base64 encode the input text.
