Transcode Audio

In most cases you do not need to transcode audio before sending it to IDOL Speech Server.

TIP:

Transcoding is necessary only when you set IdolSpeechUseStreaming=TRUE, which is not recommended.

In the following configuration, audio is streamed to the IDOL Speech Server, because the parameter IdolSpeechUseStreaming is TRUE. The configuration therefore includes the parameters TranscodeServerHost and TranscodeServerPort so that CFS sends the audio to a Transcode Server before it is sent to Speech Server. Although the audio is streamed to Speech Server, the shared folder specified by the SharedPath parameter is required so that CFS and the Transcode Server can exchange data.

[ImportTasks]
Pre0=Lua:scripts/IdolSpeech.lua

[IdolSpeechSettings]
IdolSpeechServers=server1:15000,server2:15000
IdolSpeechUseStreaming=TRUE
TranscodeServerHost=server3
TranscodeServerPort=30000
SharedPath=\\server\SharedPath
IdolSpeechLanguage=ENUK

If you are streaming audio to Speech Server but know that files are already in an acceptable format, you can configure CFS to bypass the transcoding step of the IdolSpeech task.
