class SpeechRecognition MBS MacFrameworks Plugin 19.4 ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes All
A discrete part of an entire transcription, as identified by the speech recognizer.

Use SFTranscriptionSegmentMBS to get details about a part of an overall SFTranscriptionMBS. An SFTranscriptionSegmentMBS represents an utterance, which is a vocalized word or group of words that represent a single meaning to the speech recognizer (SFSpeechRecognizerMBS).

You don’t create transcription object segments directly. Instead, you access them from a transcription’s segments property.
A transcription segment includes the following information:

  • The text of the utterance, plus any alternative interpretations of the spoken word.
  • The character range of the segment within the formattedString of its parent SFTranscriptionMBS.
  • A confidence value, indicating how likely it is that the specified string matches the audible speech.
  • A timestamp and duration value, indicating the position of the segment within the provided audio stream.
  • A voiceAnalytics metric, indicating the likelihood of a voice in a segment, and that voice’s pitch, jitter, and shimmer properties.
