Are word timestamps always immediately consecutive and always start from 0?


In google cloud speech to text, I'm getting the timestamps of the words as documented here using PHP.

Two issues: The first word always starts at 0s, even if the audio file doesn't have any sound until after.

Each word timestamp is immediately followed by another, even when the speaker pauses between words.

Is it possible to get a more precise word timestamp with PHP?


Solution

  • Based on the documentation, it seems there isn’t an option to modify any parameter in order to get a more precise word timestamp.

    However, you can report this issue by providing all the information requested within the form.
