Learn About Using OCI Speech to Find Insights with Oracle AI Database
In this solution playbook, you learn how to use Oracle technologies to ask questions about your meetings, summarize meeting actions, or take meeting notes.
Before You Begin
- Oracle AI Database
- Oracle APEX
- Invoking REST services
Architecture
The following architecture shows this deployment topology:
oci-speech-adb-ai-arch-oracle.zip
The solution ingests meeting content, creates transcripts, stores and analyzes text, and surfaces insights using managed services on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
- Oracle APEX Service connects to Oracle Autonomous AI Database.
- Oracle Autonomous AI Database reads from and writes to OCI Object Storage.
- OCI Speech reads audio from and writes transcripts to OCI Object Storage.
- Oracle Autonomous AI Database calls OCI Generative AI and OCI Language for text analytics.
- OCI Identity and Access Management authorizes all interactions.
- Oracle Services Network exposes listed services to workloads.
This architecture uses the following components:
- OCI
Language
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Language is a fully managed, serverless AI service for analyzing unstructured text using pretrained and custom models. It supports sentiment analysis, entity extraction, key phrase extraction, personally identifiable information (PII) detection, language detection, and text classification, with options for custom classifiers and custom entities. Access using REST APIs and SDKs with sophisticated text analysis at scale. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and tenant isolation is enforced. Pretrained models are regularly improved to enhance quality without customer retraining effort.
- OCI Speech
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Speech harnesses the power of spoken language, enabling you to easily convert media files containing human speech into highly accurate text transcriptions stored in the
JSONformat. You can access using the Console, REST API, CLI, and SDK. - OCI Object Storage
OCI Object Storage provides access to large amounts of structured and unstructured data of any content type, including database backups, analytic data, and rich content such as images and videos. You can safely and securely store data directly from applications or from within the cloud platform. You can scale storage without experiencing any degradation in performance or service reliability.
Use standard storage for "hot" storage that you need to access quickly, immediately, and frequently. Use archive storage for "cold" storage that you retain for long periods of time and seldom or rarely access.
- Oracle Autonomous AI Database
Oracle Autonomous AI Database provides an easy-to-use, fully autonomous (self-governing) database that scales elastically and delivers fast query performance. As a service, it doesn't require database administration. You don't need to configure or manage any hardware, or install any software. It automatically handles provisioning, backing up, patching and upgrading, and growing or shrinking the database and is an elastic service. Develop scalable AI-powered apps with any data using built-in AI capabilities. Use your choice of large language model (LLM) and deploy in the cloud or your data center.
- Oracle AI Database 26ai
Oracle AI Database 26ai with AI Vector Search lets you query data by meaning rather than keywords. Vector representations (embeddings) capture the semantics of text, images, audio, and more so you can find similar content efficiently. Built-in SQL distance functions allow similarity searches using vectors. You can combine semantic similarity and other search criteria to ground large language models (RAG) for more accurate and relevant answers.
- OCI Generative AI
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Generative AI is a fully-managed OCI service that provides a set of state-of-the-art, customizable, large language models (LLMs) that cover a wide range of use cases for text generation, summarization, semantic search, and more. Use the playground to try out the ready-to-use pretrained models, or create and host your own fine-tuned custom models based on your own data on dedicated AI clusters.
- Oracle APEX Application
Development
Oracle APEX Application Development is a low-code development platform that enables you to build scalable, feature-rich, secure, enterprise apps that can be deployed anywhere that Oracle AI Database is installed. You don't need to be an expert in a vast array of technologies to deliver sophisticated solutions. APEX Service includes built-in features such as user interface themes, navigational controls, form handlers, and flexible reports that accelerate the application development process.
- OCI Identity and Access Management
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides user access control for OCI and Oracle Cloud Applications. The IAM API and the user interface enable you to manage identity domains and the resources within them. Each OCI IAM identity domain represents a standalone identity and access management solution or a different user population.
