Lesson 3 of 8 · Multimodal AI: Text, Images, and Audio Together
In this lesson. Speech-to-text as a pipeline stage, not magic understanding.
What you will learn
- Transcribe then analyze
- Timestamps
- Error flow
Walkthrough
You will separate transcribe from analyze. Diarization and timestamps are product choices. Errors in the transcript flow downhill. This lesson is the pipeline.
Work through the ideas in order. After each point, pause and connect it to a task you already do — a document, a workflow, or a feature you own. The goal of Multimodal AI: Text, Images, and Audio Together is usable skill, not a pile of notes.
If something is unclear, rewrite it in your own words before you continue. Teaching the step back to yourself is the fastest way to see gaps.
Practice
Draw a three-stage audio pipeline with where a human can correct the transcript.
Keep the first attempt small. A finished example you can reuse beats a perfect plan you never run.
