Configure Jigasi Properties

Open the jigasi properties file:

$ micro /etc/jitsi/jigasi/sip-communicator.properties

Comment out the SIP settings, as they are not needed for transcription:

Options Regarding Transcription
Enable transcription in the properties file. A sample is shown below:
/etc/jitsi/jigasi/sip-communicator.properties
# Options regarding Transcription. Read the README for a detailed 
description
# about each property
org.jitsi.jigasi.ENABLE_TRANSCRIPTION=true
org.jitsi.jigasi.ENABLE_SIP=false
# whether to use the more expensive, but better performing
# "video" model when doing transcription
org.jitsi.jigasi.transcription.USE_VIDEO_MODEL = false
# delivering final transcript
org.jitsi.jigasi.transcription.DIRECTORY=/var/lib/jigasi/transcripts
org.jitsi.jigasi.transcription.BASE_URL=http://localhost/

# Vosk server

transcription.VoskTranscriptionService
org.jitsi.jigasi.transcription.vosk.websocket_url=ws://localhost:2700

The vosk websocket can be set to a different server by replacing ‘localhost’ with the IP address of your Vosk Server. See the Vosk guides for more details on how to configure Vosk to listen at a different port.

There are more settings that need to be configured in the jigasi properties file, but we’ll come back to them later.
