GCloudSpeech

Transcribe voice data from stdin to text using Google Cloud Speech-to-Text.

Introduction

GCloudSpeech is a small application that allows you to parse voice data quick
and easy using the command line.

This project can be used for Rhasspy,
an offline, multilingual voice assistant toolkit. It’s not an offline voice
assistant anymore when you’re using Google STT but it’s worth a shot if you need
good automatic speech recognition on a low-end device.

Installation

Clone this repository

$ git clone https://github.com/NullEnt1ty/GCloudSpeech

Setup the virtual environment
```
$ ./setup-venv.sh
```

Usage

You can transcribe voice data by piping it to run.sh. The transcription will
be printed on standard output.

For example:

$ cat podcast.wav | ./run.sh --language en-US

Attention: Currently the only accepted format for voice data are
uncompressed 16-bit signed little-endian samples (Linear PCM) with a sample rate
of 16 kHz. This might be configurable in the future.

Integration into Rhasspy

Use the following configuration for your profile to integrate GCloudSpeech into
Rhasspy:

"speech_to_text": {
    "command": {
        "program": "<path to run.sh>",
        "arguments": ["--language", "<your language code>"]
    },
    "system": "command"
},
