AWS Transcribe Streaming client for producing real-time transcriptions for your media content using HTTP/2.

Getting started

Add necessary dependencies to pubspec.yaml:

dependencies:
  aws_common: ^0.6.0
  aws_transcribe_streaming: ^0.1.0

Obtain a pair of Access/Secret keys for the AWS IAM user with transcribe:StartStreamTranscription permission. See details in AWS documentation: Transcribing streaming audio

It is recommended to use Temporary security credentials with session token obtained from the backend just before starting the transcribing process.

Usage

1. Create a new transcribe streaming client:

import 'package:aws_common/aws_common.dart';
import 'package:aws_transcribe_streaming/aws_transcribe_streaming.dart';

final transcribeStreamingClient = TranscribeStreamingClient(
  region: 'eu-central-1',
  credentialsProvider: StaticCredentialsProvider(AWSCredentials(
    'ASIAIOEXAMPLEEXAMPLE',                       // accessKeyId
    'wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY',   // secretAccessKey
    'AQoDYXdzEJr...',                             // sessionToken
    DateTime.now().add(const Duration(hours: 1)), // expiration
  )),
);

2. Start a stream transcription:

final (response, audioStreamSink, transcriptEventStream) =
    await transcribeStreamingClient.startStreamTranscription(
  const StartStreamTranscriptionRequest(
    languageCode: LanguageCode.enUs,
    mediaSampleRateHertz: 48000,
    mediaEncoding: MediaEncoding.pcm,
  ),
);

3. Subscribe to a raw TranscriptEvent stream:

final transcriptSubscription = transcriptEventStream
    .listen((TranscriptEvent event) => print(event));

or use a custom strategy to decode TranscriptEvents and build the realtime transcription:

final transcriptSubscription = transcriptEventStream
    .transform(const TranscriptEventStreamDecoder(PlainTextTranscriptionStrategy()))
    .listen((String message) => print(message));

4. Start sending audio data to the audio stream sink:

// Raw audio data from the microphone in PCM signed 16-bit little-endian audio format
Stream<Uint8List> audioStream;

final audioStreamSubscription = audioStream.listen(
  audioStreamSink.add,
  onDone: audioStreamSink.close,
);
