The observer tracks the following frame types (only from STT service):
  • TranscriptionFrame: Final transcription results
  • InterimTranscriptionFrame: In-progress transcription results

​

task = PipelineTask(
    pipeline,
    params=PipelineParams(
        observers=[TranscriptionLogObserver()],
    ),
)

Log Output Format
