SawtFeel - Arabic Audio Emotion Analysis

SawtFeel is a web application that analyzes Arabic audio/video files to provide real-time emotion visualization. The system uses a dual-path AI pipeline combining textual emotion analysis (from transcribed Arabic text) and tonal emotion analysis (from audio features) to create a synchronized emotion gauge with transcript highlighting.

Features

• Video/Audio Upload: Support for MP4, AVI, MOV, MKV, WebM, FLV, MP3, WAV formats
• Real-time Processing: Live progress updates during file processing
• Arabic Speech Recognition: Automatic transcription with word-level timestamps
• Emotion Analysis: Dual-path analysis (text + audio tone) with confidence scores
• Dark/Light Theme: Responsive design with theme switching
• Mobile Optimized: Touch-friendly interface for mobile devices

Architecture

Backend (Python/FastAPI)

• FastAPI: High-performance API with automatic documentation
• WebSocket: Real-time communication for processing updates
• AI/ML Stack: Whisper for transcription, Transformers for emotion analysis
• Video Processing: FFmpeg for audio extraction, LibROSA for analysis
• Redis: Session management and caching

Frontend (React/Vite)

• React: Component-based UI with hooks
• Vite: Fast development and optimized builds
• Responsive Design: Mobile-first CSS with dark/light themes
• Real-time Updates: WebSocket integration for live progress

Quick Start

Using Docker (Recommended)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd tellos

2. Start services:

   docker-compose up -d

3. Access the application:

   • Frontend: http://localhost:3000

Development Setup

Backend Setup

cd backend
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m src.main

Frontend Setup

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Usage

1. Upload File:

   • Drag and drop or select an Arabic audio/video file
   • Maximum duration: 2 minutes
   • Maximum size: 100MB

2. Processing:

   • Watch real-time progress updates
   • Processing stages: Upload → Extract → Transcribe → Analyze

3. Results:

   • View emotion analysis with confidence scores
   • Read Arabic transcript with word-level timing
   • Play audio with synchronized emotion visualization

Testing

The application includes comprehensive test coverage:

Contract Tests

cd backend
pytest tests/contract/ -v

Integration Tests

# Test with sample video
pytest tests/integration/ -v

Frontend Tests
