To show audio from a video in text and translate it if necessary, you can use a combination of speech recognition and translation APIs. Here's a general approach based on the content presented at WWDC:
-
Extract Text from Audio:
- Use speech recognition to convert audio to text. For example, you can use the Web Speech API for real-time speech recognition, as mentioned in the session "Optimize for the spatial web". This API allows you to respond to voice input and convert it to text locally on the device.
-
Translate Text:
- Once you have the text, you can use the Translation API to translate it into the desired language. The session "Meet the Translation API" discusses how to implement translation features in your app. You can use a simple translation overlay or a more flexible text translation API to handle the translation.
-
Best Practices:
- Ensure that the translation APIs are used on a supported device (iPhone, iPad, or Mac) as they do not function in the simulator.
- When translating content from multiple languages, make sure to batch requests with texts in the same language to avoid poor results.
For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the session Meet the Translation API (02:10) which covers the simple overlay translation method.
