VoiceBase -- Upload a media file for transcription and analysis

See more VoiceBase Examples

This example demonstrates how to upload a media file for transcription and analysis. It duplicates the following curl command:

curl https://apis.voicebase.com/v2-beta/media \
  --form media=@msg_123_abc.wav \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}"

VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

' This example assumes the Chilkat HTTP API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' Insert your Bearer token here:
accessToken = "VOICEBASE_TOKEN"

' Add the access (bearer) token to the request, which is a header
' having the following format:
' Authorization: Bearer <userAccessToken>
set sbAuth = CreateObject("Chilkat.StringBuilder")
success = sbAuth.Append("Bearer ")
success = sbAuth.Append(accessToken)
req.AddHeader "Authorization",sbAuth.GetAsString()

success = req.AddFileForUpload2("media","qa_data/wav/msg_123_abc.wav","audio/x-wav")

    outFile.WriteLine(req.LastErrorText)

    outFile.WriteLine(http.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
