There is now an official Java SDK for the Bing Speech to Text API so this repository is deprecated.

---

A Java implementation of the Bing Speech to Text API websocket protocol (supporting article).

Usage example

Run a demo via:

# set up all the requisite environment variables
export OXFORD_SPEECH_TOKEN="..."

# stream the audio and transcribe
sbt "runMain SpeechToTextWebsocketsDemo examples/data/batman.wav"

sbt "runMain SpeechToTextWebsocketsDemo http://bbcwssc.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcwssc_mp1_ws-einws en-US .mp3"
