|
|
| ### **Pipeline Flow** |
| ``` |
| Audio Input → File Analysis → Audio Preprocessing → Speaker Diarization → Speech Recognition → Multi-Tier Translation → Output Formatting → Multi-format Results |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### **Real-time Visualization Pipeline** |
| ``` |
| Audio Playback → Web Audio API → Frequency Analysis → Canvas Rendering → Live Animation |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Key Enhancements |
|
|
| ### **1. Multi-Tier Translation System** |
|
|
| Translation system providing broad coverage across language pairs: |
|
|
| - **Tier 1**: Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT (high quality for supported pairs) |
| - **Tier 2**: Google Translate API (free alternatives, broad coverage) |
| - **Tier 3**: mBART50 (offline fallback, code-switching support) |
|
|
| **Technical Implementation:** |
| ```python |
| # Translation hierarchy with automatic fallback |
| def _translate_using_hierarchy(self, text, src_lang, tgt_lang): |
| # Tier 1: Opus-MT models |
| if self._is_opus_mt_available(src_lang, tgt_lang): |
| return self._translate_with_opus_mt(text, src_lang, tgt_lang) |
| |
| # Tier 2: Google API alternatives |
| if self.google_translator: |
| return self._translate_with_google_api(text, src_lang, tgt_lang) |
| |
| # Tier 3: mBART50 fallback |
| return self._translate_with_mbart(text, src_lang, tgt_lang) |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### **2. Indian Language Support** |
|
|
| Optimization for major Indian languages: |
|
|
| - **Tamil (ta)**: Full pipeline with context awareness |
| - **Hindi (hi)**: Code-switching detection |
| - **Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada**: Translation coverage |
| - **Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi**: Support with fallbacks |
|
|
| **Language Detection Enhancement:** |
| ```python |
| def validate_language_detection(self, text, detected_lang): |
| # Script-based detection for Indian languages |
| devanagari_chars = sum(1 for char in text if '\u0900' <= char <= '\u097F') |
| arabic_chars = sum(1 for char in text if '\u0600' <= char <= '\u06FF') |
| japanese_chars = sum(1 for char in text if '\u3040' <= char <= '\u30FF') |
| |
| if devanagari_ratio > 0.7: |
| return 'hi' # Hindi |
| elif arabic_ratio > 0.7: |
| return 'ur' # Urdu |
| elif japanese_ratio > 0.5: |
| return 'ja' # Japanese |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### **3. File Management System** |
|
|
| Processing strategies based on file characteristics: |
|
|
| - **Full Processing**: Files < 30 minutes, < 100MB |
| - **50% Chunking**: Files 30-60 minutes, 100-200MB |
| - **33% Chunking**: Files > 60 minutes, > 200MB |
|
|
| **Implementation:** |
| ```python |
| def get_processing_strategy(self, duration, file_size): |
| if duration < 1800 and file_size < 100: # 30 min, 100MB |
| return "full" |
| elif duration < 3600 and file_size < 200: # 60 min, 200MB |
| return "50_percent" |
| else: |
| return "33_percent" |
| ``` |
|
|
| ### **4. Waveform Visualization** |
|
|
| Real-time audio visualization features: |
|
|
| - **Static Waveform**: Audio frequency pattern display when loaded |
| - **Live Animation**: Real-time frequency analysis during playback |
| - **Clean Interface**: Readable waveform visualization |
| - **Auto-Detection**: Automatic audio visualization setup |
| - **Web Audio API**: Real-time frequency analysis with fallback protection |
|
|
| **Technical Implementation:** |
| ```javascript |
| function setupAudioVisualization(audioElement, canvas, mode) { |
| let audioContext = null; |
| let analyser = null; |
| let dataArray = null; |
| |
| audioElement.addEventListener('play', async () => { |
| if (!audioContext) { |
| audioContext = new (window.AudioContext || window.webkitAudioContext)(); |
| const source = audioContext.createMediaElementSource(audioElement); |
| analyser = audioContext.createAnalyser(); |
| analyser.fftSize = 256; |
| source.connect(analyser); |
| analyser.connect(audioContext.destination); |
| } |
| |
| startLiveVisualization(); |
| }); |
| |
| function startLiveVisualization() { |
| function animate() { |
| analyser.getByteFrequencyData(dataArray); |
| // Draw live waveform (green bars) |
| drawWaveform(dataArray, '#10B981'); |
| animationId = requestAnimationFrame(animate); |
| } |
| animate(); |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
