Audio for Video: A Complete Guide to Sound in Video Products: From Jitter Buffers and Lip Sync to Atmos, Quality Metrics, and Neural Codecs
This checklist covers the five stages of a Whisper-based dictation app, the on-device versus cloud decision, the one-second latency budget and the hallucination tests to run before shipping. Volume 5 covers this ground in detail: recording and transcription pipelines, jitter buffers, bitrate and topology decisions, and diagnosing audio incidents by symptom. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
