is set to False
to receive only final transcripts, preventing interim single-word events.
2. Consider increasing the max_delay
value to allow more audio to be processed before finalizing transcripts, which can reduce fragmented words.
3. Optionally, modify your application to buffer interim results until a final transcript is received, then process the concatenated text.
For example, you can adjust your configuration as follows:
my_stt = speechmatics.STT(
transcription_config=speechmatics.types.TranscriptionConfig(
language="en",
operating_point="enhanced",
enable_partials=False,
max_delay=1.0,
diarization="speaker",
speaker_diarization_config={"max_speakers": 2, "speaker_sensitivity": 1},
)
)
These changes should help in receiving complete sentences instead of individual words.melodic-hamburger-67426

, no worries—here are a few more things you can try:
1. Set max_delay_mode="fixed"
to make sure the delay you set in max_delay
is strictly followed. This often helps cut down on single-word segmentation.
2. Double-check that your app is correctly distinguishing between interim and final transcripts, and waits for the final one before processing.
3. Turn on the enable_entities
parameter to get better formatting for numbers, currency, and other special entities.
4. Use additional_vocab
to add any custom words or phrases that might be causing those single-word hiccups.
5. Play around with max_speakers
and speaker_sensitivity
in the speaker_diarization_config
so it matches how many speakers you expect.
Here’s an updated example config you can try out:
my_stt = speechmatics.STT(
transcription_config=speechmatics.types.TranscriptionConfig(
language="en",
operating_point="enhanced",
enable_partials=False,
max_delay=0.5,
max_delay_mode="fixed",
enable_entities=True,
additional_vocab=[
{"content": "example_word"}
],
diarization="speaker",
speaker_diarization_config={"max_speakers": 1, "speaker_sensitivity": 0.8},
)
)
Also, it’s a good idea to make sure your audio is nice and clear, without background noise, since that can mess with segmentation. If you want to chat more or need a hand with anything else, just let me know—I’m here to help!

property so you only log the final transcripts.
2. Use the event.transcript
property to grab the transcript text.
3. Adding a timestamp for each log entry is a great idea for context—looks like you’re already doing that with the timestamp
variable.
4. Double-check that the file path and permissions for user_speech_log.txt
allow your program to write to it.
Here’s a simple example to keep handy:
@session.on("user_input_transcribed")
def on_transcript(event):
if event.is_final:
timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
log_line = f"[{timestamp}] {event.transcript}\n"
with open("user_speech_log.txt", "a", encoding="utf-8") as f:
f.write(log_line)

and max_delay_mode
, if you’re still seeing single words treated as separate speeches, it could be because of a few things:
1. Partial Transcripts: Double-check that enable_partials
is definitely set to False
in your transcription config to stop those intermediate results from popping up.
2. Max Delay: Make sure max_delay
is set high enough (like 1.0 seconds) so there’s enough time to process the audio before finalizing the transcript.
3. Speaker Diarization: If this is on, it might be splitting speech into chunks for different speakers. You might want to disable or adjust speaker_diarization_config
if that’s not what you want.
4. Custom Vocabulary: Sometimes custom vocab or entity settings can cause unexpected splits, so it’s worth checking those too.
Here’s a quick example of an updated configuration you can try out:
my_stt = speechmatics.STT(
transcription_config=speechmatics.types.TranscriptionConfig(
enable_partials=False,
max_delay=1.0,
max_delay_mode="fixed",
diarization="none", # Disable speaker diarization if not needed
)
)
If you’re still running into issues, it might be something happening after the transcripts come through. Feel free to share more about your setup or ask if you want me to help troubleshoot further!

option in the STTOptions
interface.
2. Speechmatics: They make it easy by letting you set diarization="speaker"
in the transcription_config
.
3. Amazon Transcribe: Diarization is supported here too, though you might want to double-check the specific setup details.
Just a heads-up, Google Cloud STT doesn’t support diarization right now. If you want a hand setting this up with any of these services, feel free to ask—I’m here to help!
