Re-Transcribe Media
Overview
Sometimes, you might need to re-process your media files. This could be because you want to take advantage of new features or improved transcription technology that has been released since the original analysis. It's also helpful if the initial analysis didn't complete successfully or if you need to make changes to the transcript's language or sentiment analysis.
Re-analyzing ensures you always have the most up-to-date and accurate insights from your media content. This process helps you get the most value out of your existing files without needing to upload them again.
How It Works
When you re-analyze media, a new version of the media entry is created with the updated analysis. Your original file is safely preserved. This process involves re-transcoding and re-processing the source file from scratch. Please note that re-analyzing consumes your account's balance or minutes, similar to a brand new upload, because it runs through the entire analysis pipeline again.
Getting Started
To access this feature, go to Media Settings → Re-analyze in your dashboard.
Use Cases
Re-analyzing media is useful when:
You want to apply updated features or improved transcription models to older files.
The initial analysis failed or was incomplete.
You want to change the transcript language or re-run sentiment analysis.
API Endpoint
To trigger a re-analysis via API, use the following endpoint:
POST /api/v1/media/re-transcribe
The request body should include:
{
"mediaId": "YOUR_MEDIA_ID",
"targetLanguage": "en-US" // Optional: specify the language code
}
Re-upload Text File
If you have a text file that failed analysis, you can retry it using the following endpoint:
POST /api/v1/media/re-upload-text
The request body should include:
{
"mediaId": "YOUR_MEDIA_ID"
}
This will attempt to re-read and process the text content without creating a duplicate media entry.
