Brightspot uses Amazon Transcribe for speech-to-text features for audio and video. Brightspot users can choose to submit their audio or video file for automatic speech analysis via Amazon Transcribe and have a transcription returned for the asset.
Amazon Transcribe and Brightspot: How it works
When an audio or video file is uploaded to Brightspot, the platform can automatically send that file to be analyzed by the Amazon Transcribe service. This works for content in any of the 16 languages supported by Amazon. Brightspot then receives a response back from the service that includes the words spoken with a confidence level of the transcription. That means AWS can help identify words in the transcription it might be uncertain about so editors can clean up the transcript as needed. Transcribe can even identify if there are multiple speakers in the content.
