Profile Creation
Each dictator has to reserve his identity in Watson by means of profile. This tool provides UI to create your own profile.

Training
Once the profile is created, train your Watson profile with this tool.
For Better text quality, IBM Watson demands two types of training – Language and Acoustic. Language Training needs to be completed first. Upload as many available text (speech converted) files of the dictator for language training. After successful completion of language training, we can move forward to acoustic training. Acoustic training requires a minimum of 10 minutes of audio and maximum 50 hours of audio. This is a time consuming process.

Audio Upload
After successful training completion, one can directly use it for transcription (Speech to Text conversion).This will give you the out of the box accuracy of IBM engine.

Edit Transcript
On VR Completion, the transcript text from watson can be download as document from this tool and can be editted using the provided text editor. The inbuilt media player in the editor UI makes editing easy. Editor UI displays text in different color code based on the IBM Watson returned confidence factor. A legend is provided in the tool to show the IBM Watson returned confidence factor. It also provides a legend showing the short cut keys to control the audio playback.

You can finalize the transcript after editing and RTF file is returned.
