We welcome you to use the GitHub issue tracker to report bugs or suggest features.
When filing an issue, please check existing open, or recently closed, issues to make sure somebody else hasn't already reported the issue. Please try to include as much information as you can. Details like these are incredibly useful:
- A reproducible test case or series of steps
- The version of our code being used
- Any modifications you've made relevant to the bug
- Anything unusual about your environment or deployment
Contributions via pull requests are much appreciated. Before sending us a pull request, please ensure that:
- You are working against the latest source on the master branch.
- You check existing open, and recently merged, pull requests to make sure someone else hasn't addressed the problem already.
- You open an issue to discuss any significant work - we would hate for your time to be wasted.
To send us a pull request, please:
- Fork the repository.
- Modify the source; please focus on the specific change you are contributing. If you also reformat all the code, it will be hard for us to focus on your change.
- Ensure local tests pass.
- Commit to your fork using clear commit messages.
- Send us a pull request, answering any default questions in the pull request interface.
- Pay attention to any automated CI failures reported in the pull request, and stay involved in the conversation.
GitHub provides additional document on forking a repository and creating a pull request.
Looking at existing issues is a great way to find areas to contribute. As our projects, by default, use the default GitHub issue labels (enhancement/bug/duplicate/help wanted/invalid/question/wontfix), looking at any 'help wanted' issues is a great place to start.

The following applications are required to build and test changes:
- Node.js >=v8
- AWS CLI
- Docker
- Java
- Maven
To install the required Node.js libraries, run npm install
. To start a local build, run npm run build
.
The CloudFormation template is located inside the src/cfn
directory. The template uses a custom resource to populate the S3 bucket with the Web UI static resources and to trigger the back-end build. The lambda function source code is located inside the src/backend/functions/setup
directory.
To run the Transcriber as a standalone Docker application run the following shell commands:
cd src/backend/transcriber
docker build -t transcriber .
docker run \
--env AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="${AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}" \
--env AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="${AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}" \
--env TRANSCRIPTS_DYNAMO_DB_TABLE=MediaAnalysisTranscript \
--env LOG_LEVEL=INFO \
--env AWS_REGION="${AWS_REGION}" \
--env TASKS_DYNAMO_DB_TABLE=MediaAnalysisTasks \
--env MEDIA_URL="${MEDIA_URL}" \
transcriber java -jar -Dlog4j.configurationFile=log4j2.xml transcriber.jar
To develop a local version of the web UI:
- Deploy the CloudFormation template.
- Once the CloudFormation stack is deployed, a
url
output will be available from CloudFormation in the format ofhttps://<s3-bucket-url>/index.html
. Download the filehttps://<s3-bucket-url>/settings.js
to thesrc/frontend/public/
folder. In this way, it will be possible to develop locally using the API Gateway and Cognito Pool Id that CloudFormation just created in AWS. Note that thesettings.js
is "gitignored". - Run
npm start
. The browser will automatically open the UI with hot reloading enabled. To make changes, edit the files in thesrc/frontend
folder.
