​​Transcription in Plugin Framework

There are a few settings required t​o allow plugins to use transcription functionalities. First two optional settings can be set in the general SharePoint UCC Setting list and allow transcribed text to be written to the general UCC log file for developer debug reasons. The other settings are plugin specific and go into the "Plugin Settings" list. See table below.

Settings

Setting	​Description	​Example value
​EnableTranscriptLogging	​Enables the visibility of the transcripted text in the logs. This setting can impact privacy and should only be set to true for debugging purposes.	​True default: False
​EnableTranscriptIntermediateLogging	​Enables logging of intermediate results. Some transcriptors are able to provide incomplete results while listening. When this setting is set to True all intermediate results are written to the log. When set to False it will only log final messages. This setting only has effect when EnableTranscriptLogging is set to True.	​True default: False

Data Format

In the example transcription below, you see that transcriptions have an "IsFinal" flag that indicates if the transcription has completed. Intermediate results are also logged. To determine the name or uri of the participant for which audio was transcribed, the TranscriptHistoryMessage.ParticipantId can be joined with the HistoryParticipant.Id.
