# Trax Media Processing Platform - Executive Summary
|
|
|
|
## Project Overview
|
|
|
|
**Trax** is a deterministic, iterative media transcription platform that transforms raw audio/video into structured, enhanced, and searchable text content through progressive AI-powered processing. Built from the ground up with a focus on production reliability, clean architecture, and scalable batch processing.
|
|
|
|
### Core Philosophy
|
|
"From raw media to perfect transcripts through clean, iterative enhancement"
|
|
|
|
## Key Differentiators
|
|
|
|
### 1. Iterative Pipeline Architecture (v1→v2→v3→v4)
|
|
- **v1**: Basic Whisper transcription (95% accuracy) ✅ **COMPLETED**
|
|
- **v2**: Multi-pass with confidence scoring (99.5% accuracy) ✅ **COMPLETED**
|
|
- **v3**: Advanced AI enhancement and optimization (99.8% accuracy)
|
|
- **v4**: Speaker diarization and profiling (90%+ speaker accuracy)
|
|
|
|
Each version builds on the previous without breaking changes, allowing gradual feature rollout and risk mitigation.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Protocol-Based Design
|
|
```python
|
|
class TranscriptionService(Protocol):
|
|
async def transcribe(self, audio: Path) -> Transcript
|
|
def can_handle(self, audio: Path) -> bool
|
|
```
|
|
Maximum refactorability through dependency injection and clean interfaces.
|
|
|
|
### 3. Advanced Batch Processing System ✅ **COMPLETED**
