Dependency management

If you add new dependencies to the app, run

$ godep save ./...

Configuration

The app looks for a file named config.toml in the current directory. The file should look something like this:

BackblazeAccountID = ""
BackblazeApplicationKey = ""
BackblazeBucket = ""
Debug = true
EmailUsername = "user@gmail.com"
EmailPassword = ""
EmailSMTPServer = "smtp.gmail.com"
EmailPort = 587
IBMUsername = ""
IBMPassword = ""
MongoURL = ""
Port = 8080
SecretKey = ""

• Supply your Backblaze credentials to store audio files in the cloud after transcription is complete. [Or leave empty.]
• Set Debug to true if you want extra verbose log messages.
• Supply email credentials so that the app can email users when transcription is complete. [Or leave empty.]
• Supply your IBM Speech-To-Text credentials in order to transcribe audio files using the IBM Watson Speech-To-Text API.
• Supply your MongoDB instance url to store transcription information (such as timestamps, confidence, and keywords).
• Set SecretKey to a random string. You can generate one here.

Run the app

$ go build
$ ./transcribe4all

How to use the app

1. Navigate to the app's index page at http://localhost:8080 (substitute 8080 for the port you set).
