This document defines the World Transcription Format (WTF) extension for Virtualized Conversations (vCon). The WTF extension provides a standardized analysis framework for representing speech-to-text transcription data from multiple providers within vCon containers. This extension defines a comprehensive analysis format that enables consistent transcription processing, quality assessment, and interoperability across different transcription services while preserving provider-specific features through extensible fields. The WTF extension is designed as a Compatible Extension that introduces a new analysis type for transcription data without altering existing vCon semantics, ensuring backward compatibility with existing vCon implementations.
