AUTOMATE STUDIO USER GUIDE
This guide describes how to create a speech-to-text transcription flow in Automate Studio that transcribes the historic Apollo 11 moon liftoff audio to text.
Step 1: Log in
- Log in to automate.veritone.com.
- Click Templates > Starter Flow: Transcription. The details page for the template shows.
- Click Create Flow from Template. Give the flow a name if prompted. The palette screen appears with the template nodes in a pre-made flow.
Step 2: Run the flow
- Check the box next to the aiware in node.

A green "inject.aiware-in.success" notice appears. The flow takes a few moments to run.
- To view the list of job actions, click the debug button in the right panel or go to File > Flow Settings > Debug messages.

Step 3: View results
The transcription flow results are sent to the email used to log into Automate Studio.
- In the email, click the transcribed file link. Veritone Data Center opens.
- Click the play button over the video. Notice how each word is highlighted as it's spoken. Click a word to jump to where it's spoken in the audio. The top right of the screen shows the engine that was run. If there are multiple engines in the flow, they appear in the drop-down.
How it works
In the Automate Studio palette window, note the way the nodes in this template operated:
- The aiware in node imports data from aiWARE.
- The cognition in node runs the transcription. Double click it to see the transcription category in the left panel. The Speechmatics Transcription engine is set to run. To change this, choose another engine from the drop-down menu.
- The user details node provides the output from the cognitive engine that was run.
- The aiware email node sends an email to the user.
- The aiware out node sends a success or failure status to aiWARE.
