      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a submission for the &lt;a href="https://dev.to/challenges/assemblyai"&gt;AssemblyAI Challenge &lt;/a&gt;: Sophisticated Speech-to-Text.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I Built
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using the assemblyAI's test audio file, I transcribed a conversation between a weather podcast host and his expert guest discussing wildfires.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Using the AI's ability to detect individual speakers, I transcribed the audio using the utterance feature and labeled each speaker either 'host' or 'guest', respectively. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rather than display all the text, I allow readers to paginate through sections of the conversation so they can read without scrolling on a standard-size computer screen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Click the label associated with a section of host-guest text to view it on a webpage. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Demo
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://fierce-everglades-96194-97a0bfd171b5.herokuapp.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Link to project&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://github.com/billp72/assemblyai-submission" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Github&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Journey
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I used AssemblyAI's speech-to-text Model to transcribe an audio file into a user-friendly, readable format.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;used AssemblyAI to transcribe from an audio file and differentiate between speakers.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;rendered in a user-friendly, readable format.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;tested successfully for accessibility (tabs through nicely). &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;creatively used pagination to break up the conversation into sections.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;let users focus on a single question-and-answer section.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Prompts
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I accomplished the speech-to-text prompt with the provided audio file but did not use other prompts like streaming audio.&lt;/p&gt;
