Add support for new Twilio number transcriptions coming 1/27 #351

Closed daguar closed 8 years ago

daguar commented 8 years ago

Supposedly a new change is coming in Twilio's transcriptions API tomorrow (1/27) that will start transcribing audio saying numbers into numbers, for example "56". I've asked for some of our existing recordings to be run through their new version so we can anticipate the exactly what will come out and write a fix proactively sometime today.

They've got sample audio from us and sounds like they'll turn around some test data today

Okay, here are some sample transcriptions for the new system (based on actual recordings):

This change is going live tomorrow — I am going to try and work on a fix, but otherwise will probably have to turn off the service tomorrow until I have time to ship one. If someone has time to do a quick modification, your time would help a lot of people out.
