Audio Asset Management
Some features in VDK-Studio Web require audio files to function properly. We’ve designed a seamless workflow to make file management easy and efficient:

How to manage my Audio Assets ?
Empty Audio Asset library
The first time you open your project’s Audio Asset library, you can either start recording (1) audio from scratch or import audio files (2) directly from your computer.
How to record my voice ?
Hit start recording to capture your voice live. Recordings last up to 10 seconds and stop automatically. Audio files record at 16 kHz sample rate in WAV format.
Let it end or click Stop Record
When your audio asset library isn’t empty, you’ll still see the record button next to the import file button.
The small version
Introduction to the file format
We recommend uploading lossless audio files for the best recognition by our technologies. Lossy files work too, but note that performance may drop.
Each file has a size and duration limit: 20MB and 10 seconds max. You can upload as many files as you want—no limit there, aside from decency. We limit duration to 10 seconds because voice recognition works best with short sentences, like commands or wake words. This limit suits any unit tests you want to try.
Please note you can upload audio files with at least a 16 kHz sample rate. Any file not in WAV 16 kHz will quickly be converted automatically to this format to work with our technologies.
How to import files ?
The upload files modal
Click browse files or drag your audio files onto the cloud icon. Please ensure your files match the detailed table's expectations, or the server will reject them.
Files added before sending to the server
You can add or remove files (2) until you decide it’s ready for upload (1).
Our file was refused because it last over 10 seconds
Each successfully uploaded file gets a green checkmark. Each failed upload shows a red warning icon you can mouse over to see why the server rejected it.
A detailled overview of the Audio
You can find the Record Audio button (1) and the Import File button (2) in the page's header toolbar.
Each Audio Asset file can be played back (3) or deleted permanently (4)
Files can be renamed (5) and transcribed (6). Transcription is required for the Unit Testing features.
You can select multiple files using the dedicated checkboxes (7) and delete the selected files permanently (8).
A search bar (9) is available to help you find paginated (10) Audio Assets that are not immediatly visible.
The total number of Audio Assets (11) in your project is displayed in the secondary menu.
You will find our Audio Asset Management in several places within the VDK-Studio Web. For example, whenusing Unit Tests or the Speech Enhancement widget, you may be asked to attach an audio file to test the feature. The Audio Asset Manager will appear either directly on the page or within a dedicated modal.
