Riva - Is there a way to generate a sentence-level timestamp or a VTT file?

We are using the Riva service to transcribe a .wav file. I am aware that it can generate a word-level timestamp. But I am interested in the sentence level timestamp like webVTT for subtitle purposes. So, is there a way to generate a sentence-level timestamp or a VTT file itself?

Hi @bjoish

Thanks for your interest in Riva

Apologies for the delay

I will be checking regarding this request with the team further, once I have an update I will share it back

Thanks for your patience

Hi @bjoish

Thanks for your interest in Riva,

I have the updates from team,

Currently we don’t have a sentence level timestamp, but
we can make one by

  1. use punctuation to identify start and end of sentences
  2. and use the respective start and end word timestamps to get sentence level timestamps

Thanks
