Json – How to convert Amazon Transcribe json response to a caption format (srt, webvvt, etc)

amazon-web-servicesjsonspeech-to-textwebvtt

Trying to find a package that convert my json response from the Amazon AWS Transcribe service with no luck.

You can see an example of the JSON in the JavaScript part of the Fiddle.

I wouldn't like to take the naive approach and just "bundle" like 10 words together as that would space the captions in a weird way.

I'd even accept a programmatic way of doing it using the Google Speech service or Speechmatics. They all return a json file broken down by word.

Anyone has worked with that before?

Thanks!

You probably would have found a way to do that or created a script. I also tried finding some ready made solution so ended up writing some JavaScript code to generate SRT from the JSON output of Amazon Transcribe.

I am breaking sentences at period (.). It's a standalone HTML file. Feels free to download and modify as required.

Ruby-on-rails – How to “pretty” format JSON output in Ruby on Rails

Use the pretty_generate() function, built into later versions of JSON. For example:

require 'json'
my_object = { :array => [1, 2, 3, { :sample => "hash"} ], :foo => "bar" }
puts JSON.pretty_generate(my_object)

Which gets you:

{
  "array": [
    1,
    2,
    3,
    {
      "sample": "hash"
    }
  ],
  "foo": "bar"
}

Jquery – How to format a Microsoft JSON date

eval() is not necessary. This will work fine:

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));

The substr() function takes out the /Date( part, and the parseInt() function gets the integer and ignores the )/ at the end. The resulting number is passed into the Date constructor.

I have intentionally left out the radix (the 2nd argument to parseInt); see my comment below.

Also, I completely agree with Rory's comment: ISO-8601 dates are preferred over this old format - so this format generally shouldn't be used for new development.

For ISO-8601 formatted JSON dates, just pass the string into the Date constructor:

var date = new Date(jsonDate); //no ugly parsing needed; full timezone support
