Project Goal Achievements

List below is Created Based on the Original CS 319 HSBC Project Briefing (Ticks means acheived - We acheived all goals). (Text in brackets is comments and explanation of our actual implementation).

Component 1

• A dialer/recorder agent that is invited to meetings via the regular outlook calendar meeting invitation.
• Once the meeting time occurs, the scheduler will launch a program (Twillio) that dials into the audio-based call and starts the recording of the audio blob meeting.
• Upon the meeting completion, the voice blob recording is stored in a common folder for transcribing. (We use a stream approach instead, but acheived the same feature).
• This component can schedule meeting invites that need transcription within ½ hour of the originating invite.
  (our time is almost instant, much less than 1/2 hour).
• When meetings are called, the system will pre-check that all participants are registered in the voice print system (component 3). Those users not registered will be notified via email with an registration URL.

Component 2

• A Transcribe Agent backend job that may run in a batch mode whereby, it opens each recorded file and transcribes the contents into text. The files are saved in another directory for future distribution. (We actually use stream to process)
• The service will leverage the Microsoft Cognitive Services library and transcribe the English language meeting and distinguishing the various participants.
• The service will be tuned and adjusted to accommodate the various accents of participants.
• After transcription, the text file is emailed to the chair person of the meeting.

Component 3

• A voice print user registration that identifies each potential participant. This module will record a sample voice for the user that can be used by the transcribing agent to identify the user.
• Each registered user will have an entry in the Voice recognition database.

Stretch Goals

• Create a third module that will deliver the transcribed file back to the meeting chair (the owner of the Outlook calendar invite).
• The transcribe agent can manage invites from multiple timezone and the scheduler can accommodate accordingly.
• Repeating invites can be addressed by the system.
• Maintenance module for the voice recognition component.
