Summarization

This feature is on Beta state.We’re looking for feedback to improve this feature, share yours on Discord.

The Summarization model generates a summary of your transcript. You choose one of our summary type to customize the summarization based on your preference. 3 summarization types are available:

general : A regular summary of the transcription
concise : A shorter summary for quick overview
bullet_points : Retrieve the key points in a list

If no summarization_config is provided, general type will be used by default. Find all this information in the API Reference (see summarization_config).

Usage

To enable summarization simply set the "summarization" parameter to true

request data

{
  "audio_url": "<your audio url>"
  "summarization": true
}

Sample code

In the following examples, we’re using concise type.

async function makeFetchRequest(url: string, options: any) {
  const response = await fetch(url, options);
  return response.json();
}

async function pollForResult(resultUrl: string, headers: any) {
  while (true) {
    console.log("Polling for results...");
    const pollResponse = await makeFetchRequest(resultUrl, { headers });

    if (pollResponse.status === "done") {
      console.log("- Transcription done: \n");
      const summarization = pollResponse.result.summarization;
      console.log(summarization);
      break;
    } else {
      console.log("Transcription status : ", pollResponse.status);
      await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
    }
  }
}

async function startTranscription() {
  const gladiaKey = "YOUR_GLADIA_API_KEY";
  const requestData = {
    audio_url:
      "YOUR_AUDIO_URL",
    summarization: true,
    summarization_config: { 
      type: "concise" // can be 'general', 'concise' or 'bullet_points'
      // use 'general' if no summarization_config is provided
    }
  };
  const gladiaUrl = "https://api.gladia.io/v2/pre-recorded/";
  const headers = {
    "x-gladia-key": gladiaKey,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  };

  console.log("- Sending initial request to Gladia API...");
  const initialResponse = await makeFetchRequest(gladiaUrl, {
    method: "POST",
    headers,
    body: JSON.stringify(requestData),
  });

  console.log("Initial response with Transcription ID :", initialResponse);

  if (initialResponse.result_url) {
    await pollForResult(initialResponse.result_url, headers);
  }
}

startTranscription();

Result

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

result

{
  "transcription": {...},
  "summarization": {
    "success": true,
    "is_empty": false,
    "results": "This transcription suggests that...",
    "exec_time": 1.5126123428344727,
    "error": null
  }
}

You’ll find the summarization of your audio under the results key.
