This roadmap outlines the planned milestones and features for the development of the MVP Bot Voice to Text Server. It includes the major objectives and timelines for achieving specific goals. Each milestone is designed to guide the project from initial development to production-ready deployment.
- Phase 1: Project Initialization
- Phase 2: Core Features Development
- Phase 3: Testing & Quality Assurance
- Phase 4: Deployment & Release
- Phase 5: Post-Launch Improvements
Goal: Set up the project environment and prepare the necessary infrastructure for development.
- Setup Git Repository: Create a Git repository for version control and collaboration.
- Set Up Python Virtual Environment: Configure virtual environment for managing dependencies.
- Install Dependencies: Install essential libraries and tools for the server (e.g., FastAPI, Uvicorn).
- Initialize Database: Set up the database (if applicable) for storing user data or logs.
- Configure Server: Set up server environment, including Nginx or other web servers (if necessary).
Expected Completion: January 2024
Goal: Develop the core features of the voice-to-text server, including file upload, audio processing, and text conversion.
- Voice to Text Conversion: Integrate the voice recognition engine (e.g., Vosk or Whisper) and implement the voice-to-text conversion feature.
- File Upload API: Implement an API for users to upload audio files.
- Text Retrieval API: Develop an API to retrieve the converted text from uploaded audio files.
- File Storage: Set up file storage (local or cloud-based) to handle uploaded files.
- User Feedback: Provide feedback to users on successful uploads, conversion status, and errors.
Expected Completion: March 2024
Goal: Ensure the application is stable, functional, and bug-free.
- Unit Testing: Write unit tests for the core functionality (e.g., voice-to-text conversion, file handling).
- Integration Testing: Test the integration of the voice-to-text API with the file upload functionality.
- Load Testing: Perform load testing to simulate multiple simultaneous users and large file uploads.
- Bug Fixes: Identify and resolve any bugs or performance issues discovered during testing.
- Documentation: Document the codebase, including API documentation and error handling guides.
Expected Completion: April 2024
Goal: Deploy the application to a production environment and ensure its scalability.
- Set Up Production Server: Configure the production server for hosting the application (e.g., Nginx, Docker, etc.).
- Continuous Integration (CI): Set up a CI pipeline for automated testing and deployment using GitHub Actions or similar.
- Continuous Deployment (CD): Configure automatic deployment to production after successful tests.
- Deploy to Cloud: Deploy the application to a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, etc.) if necessary.
- Production Monitoring: Set up monitoring tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) to track server health, performance, and errors.
Expected Completion: June 2024
Goal: Improve the product based on user feedback and continue enhancing the server with additional features.
- Security Enhancements: Perform a security audit of the application and address vulnerabilities.
- Optimization: Optimize the server for better performance (e.g., reduce latency, optimize file handling).
- Additional Features: Add advanced features like multiple language support, real-time transcription, or user authentication.
- User Feedback Integration: Collect and integrate user feedback for further improvements.
- Refactoring: Refactor the codebase for better maintainability and scalability.
Expected Completion: Ongoing after July 2025
- AI and NLP Integration: Integrate machine learning models to improve voice-to-text accuracy and support complex use cases (e.g., sentiment analysis, context-aware transcriptions).
- Mobile App: Develop a mobile application to allow users to easily interact with the voice-to-text service from their phones.
- Scaling and Multi-Region Deployment: Scale the application to handle a larger number of users and deploy in multiple regions for better performance.
- Dependencies: Any external dependencies or libraries to be reviewed or updated during development.
- Challenges: Potential challenges or roadblocks that may arise during development.
- Future Goals: Ideas for future features and improvements beyond the current roadmap.
