How to config transcrption?

Install & Config
#1

Hello,
I’m trying to use transcription, and I installed jitsi-meet, google-cloud-SDK, jigasi.

When I run APP.conference._room.dial(“jitsi_meet_transcribe”) in chrome, I can see the transcriber join the meeting then disconnected. and a message(Transcriber is not properly configured. Contact the service administrators and let them know! I will now leave.) can you help me to check it.

And below is the installing info of google cloud sdk. should I do anything else for it?

Apparently jigasi is not finding the environment variable.

2019-03-25 20:19:39.815 WARNING: [123] org.jitsi.jigasi.transcription.GoogleCloudTranscriptionService.log() Google Credentials are not properly set
java.io.IOException: The Application Default Credentials are not available. They are available if running in Google Compute Engine. Otherwise, the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS must be defined pointing to a file defining the credentials. See https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/application-default-credentials for more information.

What is your jigasi version?
Where did you add the variable?

Hi,Damencho
Thank you for your quickly reply.

My jigasi version is 1.0-217

I config /etc/jitsi/jigasi/config add
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/root/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json

Is this credentials like this?
vim /root/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
{
“client_id”: “764086051850-6qr4pXXXXXpt8ejuXXXX1hur.apps.googleusercontent.com”,
“client_secret”: “d-FL95Q1XXXXXXXXpd7hHD0Ty”,
“refresh_token”: “1/H8cj_vxNXXXXXXXXXRe8K6xCACJKpcb5pGna2c”,
“type”: “authorized_user”

My (failed) Jigasi transcription review - maybe it helps someone
Jigasi only transcript

This is the systemd enabled jigasi. Remove the export word from /etc/jitsi/jigasi/config
Leave it as just GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS= and try again.
Also this file “/root/.config/” cannot be read by jigasi user. Make sure jigasi user can read the file.

Hi

How to find the credentials after running the Google cloud SDK. Do i need to login to Google Cloud ? if yes, where can i find it.
Any other settings are required in Google cloud .

#6

you can see the credentials path when you finished running
gcloud init
gcloud auth application-default login

you will be asked to login to Google Cloud with browser to get the verification code

Hi,Damencho
It works now, Thank you.

I can acitve transcription form web-console or invite-button. I can see words received in Chat box.
But when I click CC button, nothing happened, so how to actived this?

#8

Thanks Michaelchen

I have configured the google and its working fine.

Just wanted to check if you are able to change the transcript file name format to Date-Start Time-Meeting ID.
The transcripts are getting saved to /var/lib/jigasi/transcripts but it too long.

I am also checking how to use IBM or Sphinx instead of Google.

When you click cc button you should activate the transcriptions … and see transcriptions as subtitles.

You are receiving transcriptions in the chat? This is an old jigasi. Are you using stable? I will update jigasi in stable in few hours and then you need to just update it.

#10

I am receiving the Transcrptions in the chat now. I am also checking how to show the transcription only for the Moderator.

Thanks I will update Jigasi.

#11

You can update now from stable I just updated it.
There is no option for only moderator to see the transcriptions.

#12

Thanks I followed this step

apt-get update
apt-get install jigasi
Should i update the sip-communicator.properties or can i keep the old one?

Please do not cross-post every time.

#14

Sorry about it.

#15

I have updated the new jigasi. but it is still can not activate transcriptions.

I still use invite(jitsi_meet_transcribe) , and if I checked cc, I can see subtitles.
and unchecked cc with no subtitles .

my jitsi-meet version is 1.0.3548-1, I used the quick install guide of jitsi_meet.

anything else need to be updated?

#16

Subtitles are the transcriptions, what do you mean you cannot activate transcriptions? What do you want to activate?

#17

My purpose is when I click cc button, it will auto invite (jitsi_meet_transcribe) and show me the subtitles.

But now I click cc button, nothing happened. I must input (jitsi_meet_transcribe) with click “+” button.

#18

This is how it is supposed to work. Testing it here works that way. When you click cc button do you see after a while TR indication in the upper right corner? If you see it, transcriber is in.

#19

I can’t see TR indication in the upper right corner after click cc button. And no logs in Chrome console.

I only can active transcribe with “+” button , it’s very strange.

#20

I’ve a newbie too Jitsi/Jigasi. I’ve setup Jitsi, installed Jigasi, has anyone fully setup a functional transcription for Jigasi? If yes, could you kindly document the step-by-step process? I’ll be glad if I can have this.
Thanks.
