How to set the parameters





Advanced Settings


  1. When checked, the plugin returns a confidence measure in the range of 0.0 to 1.0 for each word. When unchecked, no word confidence measures are returned. 

  2. When checked, the plugin converts dates, times, series of digits and numbers, phone numbers, currency values, and internet addresses into more readable, conventional representations. For US English, the plugin also converts certain keyword strings to punctuation symbols. This applies to US English, Japanese, and Spanish transcription only.

  3. When checked, it specifies the duration of the pause interval at which the service ends the processing. Silence indicates a point at which the speaker pauses between spoken words or phrases. Specify a value for the pause interval in the range of 0.0 to 120.0 The default pause interval for most languages is 0.8 seconds. The default for Chinese is 0.6 seconds.

  4. Use this parameter to suppress side conversations or background noise. Specify a value between 0.0 and 1.0:
  • 0.0 (the default) provides no suppression (background audio suppression is disabled).
  • 0.5 provides a reasonable level of audio suppression for general usage.
  • 1.0 suppresses all audio (no audio is transcribed).
