Categorize Audio

To run audio categorization

  1. Create a new configuration to send to Media Server with the process action, or open an existing configuration that you want to modify.

  2. In the [Session] section, add a new analysis task by setting the EngineN parameter. You can give the task any name, for example:

    [Session]
    Engine0=Ingest
    Engine1=AudioCategorize
  3. Create a new section to contain the settings for the task and set the following parameters:

    Type The analysis engine to use. Set this parameter to AudioCategorize.
    Input (Optional) The audio track to analyze. If you do not specify an input track, Media Server processes the first track of the correct type produced by the ingest engine.
    SampleFrequency (Optional) The sample frequency of the audio to send to the audio service for analysis, in samples per second (Hz).

    For example:

    [AudioCategorize]
    Type=AudioCategorize
    SampleFrequency=16000

    For more information about the parameters that you can use to configure audio categorization, refer to the Media Server Reference.

  4. Save and close the configuration file. OpenText recommends that you save your configuration files in the location specified by the ConfigDirectory parameter.
