TwinMind Performance Tuning
Contents
Overview
Optimize TwinMind for better transcription accuracy (WER), faster processing, audio preprocessing, model selection per use case, streaming optimization, and transcript caching/deduplication.
Prerequisites
- TwinMind Pro/Enterprise account
- Understanding of audio processing concepts
- Access to quality metrics and logs
Instructions
Step 1: Understand Performance Metrics
Track key metrics: Word Error Rate (Ear-3: 5.26%), Diarization Error Rate (3.8%), confidence score, processing time, real-time factor (0.3x), and first word latency (300ms). Analyze metrics to generate recommendations.
Step 2: Audio Quality Optimization
Build preprocessing pipeline with ffmpeg: target 16kHz sample rate, mono channel, noise reduction (highpass 200Hz + lowpass 3kHz + FFT denoiser), and EBU R128 loudness normalization. Assess audio quality before transcription.
Step 3: Model Selection and Configuration
Create optimized configs per scenario: standard meeting (ear-3, auto language, diarization on), technical presentation (ear-3 + custom vocabulary), call center (diarization + profanity filter), medical (ear-3-custom), lecture (single speaker, no diarization), podcast (diarization on).
Step 4: Streaming Optimization
Configure streaming with 100ms chunks, 50ms overlap, 5s max buffer, interim results, and endpoint detection. Build OptimizedStreamingClient that accumulates chunks and processes when sufficient data is available.
Step 5: Caching and Deduplication
Implement TranscriptCache with SHA-256 audio hashing for deduplication, 24-hour TTL, and transcribeWithCache() that skips re-processing of identical audio.
See detailed implementation for complete audio preprocessing, model configs, streaming client, and caching code.
Output
- Performance metrics tracking
- Audio preprocessing pipeline
- Model configuration for use cases
- Streaming optimization
- Caching and deduplication
Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| High WER | Poor audio quality | Apply preprocessing pipeline |
| Slow processing | Large file | Use streaming API |
| Wrong language | Auto-detect failed | Specify language explicitly |
| Missing speakers | Low audio separation | Improve microphone setup |
Examples
Basic usage: Apply twinmind performance tuning to a standard project setup with default configuration options.
Advanced scenario: Customize twinmind performance tuning for production environments with multiple constraints and team-specific requirements.
