SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps improve the quality of audio input for transcription by allowing users to tune various audio pre-processing filters, such as highpass and lowpass filters, de-emphasis, and automatic gain control (AGC).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audio Filter Tuning: Adjust highpass and lowpass cutoff frequencies to remove unwanted noise (rumble, hiss).
  • De-emphasis Adjustment: Compensate for pre-emphasis applied during radio transmission to normalize treble.
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC): Normalize audio levels to ensure speech is consistently audible without clipping.
  • Use Case: If your transcriptions are missing words due to quiet speech or are filled with static, you can use this skill to adjust the AGC and lowpass filter to improve clarity.

Quick Start

Use the wavecap-filters skill to adjust the highpass cutoff frequency to 350 Hz and the lowpass cutoff frequency to 3500 Hz.

FAQPage Schema
How do I improve audio transcription quality for noisy environments?

To improve audio transcription clarity, adjust highpass and lowpass cutoff frequencies to remove rumble and hiss, and enable automatic gain control to normalize speech levels in noisy environments.

What does automatic gain control do for audio transcription?

Automatic gain control normalizes incoming audio levels to ensure speech is consistently audible without clipping, preventing transcriptions from missing words caused by quiet audio inputs.

How do I configure audio pre-processing filters for transcription?

Configure audio pre-processing filters by updating cutoff frequencies, de-emphasis time constants, and AGC target RMS values in the state/config.yaml file, then restart the transcription service.

When should I use de-emphasis adjustment for audio transcription?

Use de-emphasis adjustment when processing weak radio signals or processed web streams to compensate for pre-emphasis applied during transmission and normalize treble frequencies for clearer speech transcription.

Why does my audio transcription miss words during quiet speech?

Audio transcription misses words during quiet speech because input levels are too low; configuring automatic gain control with an appropriate target RMS normalizes audio volume to resolve this issue.

Can I tune audio filters for both clean studio feeds and noisy environments?

Yes, audio filter tuning supports various input sources by allowing you to adjust highpass and lowpass cutoffs alongside AGC settings to optimize transcription quality for clean studio feeds, weak radio signals, or noisy environments.
