Getting started 🔧

Firstly before we begin exploring the source code, you might wanna clone or download the repository just as shown below;

# Clone this repository
$ git clone https://github.com/Kalebu/Python-Speech-Recognition-

# Go into the repository
$ cd Python-Speech-Recognition-

Dependancies

Now you would need to Install all the Dependecies to begin running playing the Examples

Linux users

 
$ pip3 install pydub
$ pip3 install PyAudio
$ pip3 install SpeechRecognition

Window users

$ pip install pydub
$ pip install PyAudio
$ pip install SpeechRecognition

Once everything is cleary installed , you're now ready to run the above examples

Recognition From Microphone

The first Example app.py consist of python code to perform speech recognition on sound that is directly fed from Microphone

To run the Example do the following

$ python app.py 
    Adjusting noise 
    Recording for 4 seconds
    Done recording
    Recognizing the text
    Decoded Text : Python is awesome

Recognition From Audio File

The second Example app_audio.py consist of a python code to perform speech recognition from sound loaded from local audio file

To run the Example do the following

$ python3 app_audio.py 
    Done recording
    Recognizing the text
    Decoded Text : python programming is the best of all by Jordan

Recognizing From Long Audio File

Incase you have a long audio File, loading plus processing it, It takes a quite a while therefore the best way is to break the long audio source from file into small chunks and then performing speech Recognition on those chunks

The script long_audio.py consist of Python demo code just to that

To run the example do the Following

$ python3 app_audio.py 
    Done recording
    Recognizing the text
    Decoded Text : python programming is the best of all by Jordan

Explore and build your own thing

Well Hope you had amazing time practicing Some Speech Recognition Now It's your turn to create something useful out of what you just learned.
