Chinese provided in avatar.transcription event changed from Chinese characters to Pinyin
8 days ago by Steve Gibson
Just noticed the LiveAvatar events provided during a LiveKit connection have changed. An example:
BEFORE:
{event_type: 'avatar.transcription', event_id: 'xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx', session_id: 'xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx', text: '当然,可以的。非常感谢各位中国同事一直以来的支持。我们非常珍惜与大家的合作机会。'}
AFTER:
{event_type: 'avatar.transcription', event_id: 'xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx', session_id: 'xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx', text: 'Dang Ran ,Ke Yi De . Fei Chang Gan Xie Ge Wei Zhon… Zuo ,Gong Tong Shi Xian Geng Da De Cheng Gong . '}
We're using Azure Translate to translate the zh-CN characters to en and this is now failing - Azure thinks the Pinyin is English and just passes through most of it with the occasional en word.
Haven't changed my context to ask this - and asking in the context prompt for transcriptions to be provided in Chinese characters where the avatar is speaking Chinese doesn't work.
For reference our avatar is mainly English speaking but he does speak Chinese when prompted.
