This method returns true if the input JSONArray contains the input value.

For this Dialog runtime context which is set by a previous node or external application:

{
"context": {
"toppings_array": ["onion", "olives", "ham"]
}
}

Dialog node or response condition:

$toppings_array.contains('ham')

Result: True because the array contains the element ham.





 JSONArray.containsIntent(String intent_name, Double min_score, [Integer top_n]) 

This method returns true if the intents JSONArray specifically contains the specified intent, and that intent has a confidence score that is equal to or higher than the specified minimum score. Optionally, you can specify a number to indicate that the intent must be included within that number of top elements in the array.

Returns false if the specified intent is not in the array, does not have a confidence score that is equal to or higher than the minimum confidence score, or the intent is lower in the array than the specified index location.

The service automatically generates an intents array that lists the intents that the service detects in the input whenever user input is submitted. The array lists all intents that are detected by the service in order of highest confidence first.

You can use this method in a node condition to not only check for the presence of an intent, but to set a confidence score threshold that must be met before the node can be processed and its response returned.

For example, use the following expression in a node condition when you want to trigger the dialog node only when the following conditions are met:



* The General_Ending intent is present.
* The confidence score of the General_Ending intent is over 80%.
* The General_Ending intent is one of the top two intents in the intents array.



intents.containsIntent("General_Ending", 0.8, 2)





 JSONArray.filter(temp, "temp.property operator comparison_value")

 Speaking rate examples 

The following HTTP POST /v1/synthesize method uses the rate_percentage query parameter with a value of -5. The resulting audio is spoken at a rate that is five percent slower than it is by default. The example uses the US English voice en-US_AllisonV3Voice.

IBM Cloud

curl -X POST -u "apikey:{apikey}" --header "Content-Type: application/json" --header "Accept: audio/wav" --output rate-percentage.wav --data "{"text":"This text is spoken five percent slower than the default."}" "{url}/v1/synthesize?voice=en-US_AllisonV3Voice&rate_percentage=-5"

The following WebSocket example shows inclusion of the parameter with the same value on the request to establish a connection:

var access_token = '{access_token}';

 IBM remediations and explanations 

Review information from IBM on the CIS Benchmark results.
Internal changes and improvements to the service can affect transcripts and confidence scores. For example, speech recognition may be improved to return more precise transcription results. Similarly, transcript and word confidence scores might change slightly as a result of improved speech recognition. Such changes are expected to be modest, but do not expect transcripts and confidence scores to remain unchanged over time.



 Word confidence example 

The following example requests word confidence scores for the words of the transcription:

IBM Cloud

curl -X POST -u "apikey:{apikey}" --header "Content-Type: audio/flac" --data-binary @{path}audio-file.flac "{url}/v1/recognize?word_confidence=true"

IBM Cloud Pak for Data

curl -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer {token}" --header "Content-Type: audio/flac" --data-binary @{path}audio-file.flac "{url}/v1/recognize?word_confidence=true"

The service returns a confidence score for each word of the audio:

{
"result_index": 0,
"results": [
{
"alternatives":
{
"confidence": 0.96,
"transcript": "several tornadoes touch down as a line of
severe thunderstorms swept through Colorado on Sunday ",
"word_confidence":

"several",
1.0
],

"tornadoes",
1.0
],

"touch",
0.52
],

"down",
0.90
],
. . .

"on",
0.31
],

"Sunday",
0.99
]
]
}
],
"final": true
}
]
}
Show more







 Word timestamps 

The timestamps parameter tells the service whether to produce timestamps for the words it transcribes. By default, the service reports no timestamps.
curl -X POST --header "Authorization: Bearer {token}" --header "Content-Type: audio/flac" --data-binary @{path}audio-file.flac "{url}/v1/recognize?max_alternatives=3"

The service reports a confidence only for the most likely of the three alternatives:

{
"result_index": 0,
"results": [
{
"alternatives":
{
"confidence": 0.96,
"transcript": "several tornadoes touch down as a line of
severe thunderstorms swept through Colorado on Sunday "
},
{
"transcript": "several tornadoes touched down as a line of
severe thunderstorms swept through Colorado on Sunday "
},
{
"transcript": "several tornadoes touch down as a line of
severe thunderstorms swept through Colorado and Sunday "
}
],
"final": true
}
]
}
Show more







 Word confidence 

The word_confidence parameter tells the service whether to provide confidence measures for the words of the transcript. By default, the service reports a confidence measure only for the final transcript as a whole. Setting word_confidence to true directs the service to report a confidence measure for each individual word of the transcript.

A confidence measure indicates the service's estimation that the transcribed word is correct based on the acoustic evidence. Confidence scores range from 0.0 to 1.0.



* A score of 1.0 indicates that the current transcription of the word reflects the most likely result.
* A score of 0.5 means that the word has a 50-percent chance of being correct.



Internal changes and improvements to the service can affect transcripts and confidence scores. For example, speech recognition may be improved to return more precise transcription results. Similarly, transcript and word confidence scores might change slightly as a result of improved speech recognition. Such changes are expected to be modest, but do not expect transcripts and confidence scores to remain unchanged over time.
