A speech recognition module.
It's designed to listen continuously to a user (i.e. pauses are ok), and then converting that speech to text.
npm install --save speech-to-text
import SpeechToText from 'speech-to-text';
const onAnythingSaid = text => console.log(`Interim text: ${text}`);
const onFinalised = text => console.log(`Finalised text: ${text}`);
try {
const listener = new SpeechToText(onAnythingSaid, onFinalised);
listener.startListening();
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
Demo here.
- onAnythingSaid: this is a callback function that is called with text as it's being said
- onFinalised: this is a callback function that is called with the full text as it has been resolved in the cloud.
- onFinishedListening: this is a callback function that is called when the speech recognitions stops listening.
- language: This is an optional string that specifies the language to be interpreted as. Default is United States English. 'en-US'
The constructor will throw an error if speech recognition is not supported by the browser.
// Check to see if this browser supports speech recognition
if (!('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window)) {
throw new Error("This browser doesn't support speech recognition. Try Google Chrome.");
}
Initiates listening to speech input and will continue to call the callback functions provided until the speech recognition stops listening. After which you'll need to call this function again.
