Deploying Substitutions to V‑Spark

V‑Spark is a web-based graphical analytics platform. V‑Spark can be configured to use Voci's V‑Cloud or customer-hosted ASR engine servers for transcription. There are two ways to deploy substitutions to V‑Spark:

  1. Directly embedding substitution rules as the value of "subst_rules".

  2. Setting the value of "subst_rules" to a substitution file located on the V‑Spark server.

The following sections explain the two methods for deploying substitutions to V‑Spark.

Directly Embedding Substitution Rules in V‑Spark ASR Options

Configure V‑Spark folders that will be using the substitutions as shown below.

V‑Spark Folder Dialog

1

Select "Add/remove ASR options".

2

Press "Next" to proceed to the ASR options.

The next dialog page contains a "key:value" pair where the "key" is the ASR option and "value" is information assigned to that option.

Note

Refer to the V‑Spark Management Guide for more details on creating and configuring folders.

1

The key is subst_rules.

2

The value is the set of substitution rules you want to add. The list of substitution rules must be placed within quotation marks and each rule must be separated by "\n".

3

Press the "+" icon to add the "key:value" pair to the ASR options.

4

Once you've added your substitution rules, the review field should look similar to the text highlighted in blue. Press "Update/Create" to complete folder setup.

Note

Voci recommends using a text editor to write the list of substitution rules first and then paste the rules into the value field. It is difficult to type the rules directly into the value field because it is not an editor and will likely result in mistakes and confusion.

Deploying Substitution Rules to V‑Spark Using a Substitution File

The method explained in this section can only be used if you have SSH access to a V‑Spark system. If your access to the V‑Spark system is limited, refer to Directly Embedding Substitution Rules in V‑Spark ASR Options.

Connect to the V‑Spark server via SSH and place the substitution file in a working directory. The full path to the substitution file will be needed when configuring V‑Spark folder options as shown below.

1

The key is subst_rules.

2

The value is the less-than sign followed immediately by the full path name of the substitution file located on the V‑Spark server.

3

Press the "+" icon to add the "key:value" pair to the ASR options.

4

After adding the ASR option, the review field should look similar to the text highlighted in blue.

5

Press "Create" to complete folder setup.

Note

The Linux user "vocisrv" must have read access to all elements of the path and the substitution file.
