File object fields

Audio files of a call are returned in the files attribute of the call object. Each file is a JSON object with the following attributes:

Attribute Type Description
file_id string ID of the file, for example 01. It is unique within the call only. Pass it in the file_id parameter of Retrieve file for playback.
start_time datetime Date and time when the recording of this file started. ISO 8601 with time zone, for example 2024-06-05T01:35:55+03:00.
stop_time datetime Date and time when the recording of this file stopped.
file_size integer Size of the audio file in bytes.
watermark string or null SHA-1 hash of the audio file content. Use it to verify data integrity.
encrypt_key string or null Public encryption key. Set only when the audio is encrypted.
encrypt_tag string or null Encryption tag. Required to play back the encrypted audio. Set only when the audio is encrypted.
encrypt_fingerprint string or null Fingerprint of the encryption key. Required to play back the encrypted audio. Set only when the audio is encrypted.
speech_analytics list of objects Transcripts of the file. Empty when the file has no transcript. Returned only when the API user has the Call transcript view permission. See Transcript object.

Note

The location of the file on the storage is not exposed by the REST API. To retrieve the audio, use Retrieve file for playback.

Transcript object

Attribute Type Description
transcript_id UUID Unique ID of the transcript.
engine string Speech engine that produced the transcript, for example miarec_v2.
language string or null Language of the transcript.
ts_language string or null Full-text search language of the transcript.
status string Status of the transcript: UPLOADING (uploading audio), PROCESSING (in progress), RUNNING (waiting), COMPLETE, or FAILED.
transcript_plain string Plain text of the transcript. Empty until the status is COMPLETE.
transcript_json string Transcript with timing and speaker information, serialized as a JSON string. See Transcript JSON format.
created_at datetime Date and time when the transcript record was created.
updated_at datetime Date and time of the last modification of the transcript record.

Transcript JSON format

transcript_json is a JSON document encoded as a string. Parse it with a JSON parser to get a list of phrases. Each phrase has:

Attribute Type Description
side integer Speaker: 1 for the left channel (usually the agent), 2 for the right channel.
s integer Start time of the phrase, in milliseconds from the beginning of the file.
e integer End time of the phrase, in milliseconds.
c number Confidence of the recognition, when reported by the engine.
words list of objects Words of the phrase.

Each word has:

Attribute Type Description
w string The word, or a punctuation mark.
s integer Start time of the word, in milliseconds.
e integer End time of the word, in milliseconds.
sn integer Sentiment of the word, when sentiment analysis is enabled.
m string punc when the item is a punctuation mark. Absent for regular words.
sp string Spoken form of the word, when it differs from the written form (for example, a number).
ner string Named entity type, when named entity recognition is enabled.
ner_c number Confidence of the named entity recognition.

Older transcripts may also carry a per-word confidence c; new transcripts store confidence per phrase only.
