Continuously listens to your microphone input and transcribes speech to text

Displays recognized text live in a scrollable text area

Uses Google’s free speech recognition service via the speech_recognition Python library

Installation

Clone the repository:

bash git clone https://github.com/ghostcoder911/Audio2Text-.git

Change to the project directory:

bash cd voice-to-text-converter

(Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

bash python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate

Install required dependencies:

bash pip install -r requirements.txt

If requirements.txt is not present, install packages manually:

bash pip install SpeechRecognition pyaudio

Note: On Ubuntu, you may need to install system dependencies before PyAudio:

bash sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev python3-pyaudio

Run the application:

bash
python3 voice_to_text.py

Usage

Click Start Rec button to begin voice recording.

Speak into your microphone.

Click Stop Rec to end recording and stop transcription.

The transcribed text will appear in the text area for review, editing, or saving.

Troubleshooting

If PyAudio installation fails, ensure you have the required development headers installed (portaudio19-dev on Ubuntu).

Make sure your microphone is connected and accessible.

Internet connection is required for Google's speech recognition API to work.
