Tutorial 3A: Importing and interacting with audio

Overview​

This tutorial explores the workflow for importing audio to a Collection so that you can ask questions about it later. To understand the workflow, we will explore the audio recording of a lecture given on April 8, 2010, at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University.

Objectives​

  • Understand the process of importing audio into a Collection using Enterprise h2oGPTe.
  • Learn how to interact with and extract information from the imported audio using the Chat feature in Enterprise h2oGPTe.

Prerequisites​

Step 1: Create a Collection​

Let's create a Collection that can store the lecture (audio) we want to explore.

  1. In the Enterprise h2oGPTe navigation menu, click Collections.
  2. Click + New collection.
  3. In the Collection name box, enter the following:
    Audio: Four Thousand Years Ago in Coastal Peru: America's First Civilization
  4. Click + Create.

Step 2: Add the audio lecture to the Collection​

Now that we have a Collection let's add the downloaded audio lecture.

  1. Click + Add documents.
  2. In the + Add documents list, select Upload documents.
  3. Click Browse files... and add the 20100408moseley.mp3 file.
  4. Click Add.
note
  • Enterprise h2oGPTe converts the imported audio files into a PDF file.
  • The imported audio is an MP3 file, but Enterprise h2oGPTe can handle various other file types. To learn more, see Supported file types for a Collection.
  • You can specify the audio language for further accuracy purposes. For example, if the audio was in Spanish, you could select Spanish in the following setting: Spoken language in audio files. Language

Step 3: Chat with the Collection (audio lecture)​

Now, with the Collection containing the audio lecture, let's explore it.

  1. Click Start your first chat.
  2. In the Ask anything box, enter the following questions:
    What is the lecture about? Who gives it? And where does it take place? 
  3. Click Submit.
