The chapterization model segments the audio into logical chapters based on the audio and content, and makes it easier to navigate long audios such as meeting recordings.

Each chapter will contain its start and end time, as well as a summary, headline, bottom line “gist” and keywords.

Usage

Enable chapterization by setting the appropriate flag:

Pre-recorded

{
  "chapterization": true
}

{
  "post_processing": {
    "chapterization": true
  },
  "messages_config": {
    "receive_post_processing_events": true
  }
}

Result

The transcription result will contain a "chapterization" key with the output of the model:
