😮🔈 Hello, Speech API!

(#1406, #1407)

The Cloud Speech API enables easy integration of Google speech recognition technologies into developer applications. Send audio and receive a text transcription from the Cloud Speech API service.

var gcloud = require('google-cloud');

var speech = gcloud.speech({
  projectId: 'grape-spaceship-123',
  keyFilename: '/path/to/keyfile.json'
});

// Detect the speech in an audio file.
speech.recognize('./audio.raw', {
  encoding: 'LINEAR16',
  sampleRate: 16000
}, function(err, transcript) {
  // transcript = 'how old is the Brooklyn Bridge'
});

// Detect the speech in an audio file stream.
fs.createReadStream('./audio.raw')
  .on('error', console.error)
  .pipe(speech.createRecognizeStream({
    config: {
      encoding: 'LINEAR16',
      sampleRate: 16000
    },
    singleUtterance: false,
    interimResults: false
  }))
  .on('error', console.error)
  .on('data', function(data) {
    // The first "data" event emitted might look like:
    //   data = {
    //     endpointerType: Speech.endpointerTypes.START_OF_SPEECH,
    //     ...
    //   }
    //
    // A later "data" event emitted might look like:
    //   data = {
    //     endpointerType: Speech.endpointerTypes.END_OF_AUDIO,
    //     ...
    //   }
    //
    // A final "data" event emitted might look like:
    //   data = {
    //     endpointerType: Speech.endpointerTypes.END_OF_AUDIO,
    //     results: "how old is the Brooklyn Bridge",
    //     ...
    //   }
  });
