Snippet: Voicemail Transcription

This snippet will show you how to implement a transcription process for a recorded voicemail message. The resulting text will be emailed to the given address.

You will need a machine with Python installed, the SignalWire SDK, a provisioned SignalWire phone number, and optionally Docker if you decide to run it in a container.

For this demo we will be using Python, but more languages may become available.

  • Python
  • SignalWire SDK
  • SignalWire Phone Number
  • MailGun Account (For administrator notifications, https://www.mailgun.com/)
  • Docker (Optional)
