Transcribe Lyrics from Songs

[dschnabel]

Hi there,

Can Deepgram be used to extract the lyrics from songs? I contacted the support but they referred me here without giving me an answer.

I sent a song to Deepgram but got an empty text back. Is this a technical limitation or is it a legal problem due to potentially copyrighted lyrics?

We would like to moderate songs for explicit content and therefore need to extract the lyrics for further analysis.

Programming language: Python

        # STEP 1 Create a Deepgram client using the API key
        deepgram = DeepgramClient('<API key>')

        with open(AUDIO_FILE, "rb") as file:
            buffer_data = file.read()

        payload: FileSource = {
            "buffer": buffer_data,
        }

        #STEP 2: Configure Deepgram options for audio analysis
        options = PrerecordedOptions(
            model="nova-2",
            smart_format=True,
            detect_language=True
        )

        # STEP 3: Call the transcribe_file method with the text payload and options
        response = deepgram.listen.rest.v("1").transcribe_file(payload, options)

        # STEP 4: Print the response
        print(response.to_json(indent=4))
