Java idiomatic client for Google Cloud Speech.
Note: This client is a work-in-progress, and may occasionally make backwards-incompatible changes.
If you are using Maven, add this to your pom.xml file
<dependency>
<groupId>com.google.cloud</groupId>
<artifactId>google-cloud-speech</artifactId>
<version>0.80.0-beta</version>
</dependency>
If you are using Gradle, add this to your dependencies
compile 'com.google.cloud:google-cloud-speech:0.80.0-beta'
If you are using SBT, add this to your dependencies
libraryDependencies += "com.google.cloud" % "google-cloud-speech" % "0.80.0-beta"
See the Authentication section in the base directory's README.
Google 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.
See the Speech client library docs to learn how to use this Cloud Speech API Client Library.
You will need a Google Developers Console project with the Speech API enabled. Follow these instructions to get your project set up. You will also need to set up the local development environment by installing the Google Cloud SDK and running the following commands in command line: gcloud auth login
and gcloud config set project [YOUR PROJECT ID]
.
You'll need to obtain the google-cloud-speech
library. See the Quickstart section to add google-cloud-speech
as a dependency in your code.
The following code sample shows how to recognize speech using an audio file from a Cloud Storage bucket as input. First, add the following imports at the top of your file:
import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechClient;
import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionAudio;
import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionConfig;
import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding;
import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognizeResponse;
Then add the following code to do the speech recognization:
try (SpeechClient speechClient = SpeechClient.create()) {
RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding encoding = RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding.FLAC;
int sampleRateHertz = 44100;
String languageCode = "en-US";
RecognitionConfig config = RecognitionConfig.newBuilder()
.setEncoding(encoding)
.setSampleRateHertz(sampleRateHertz)
.setLanguageCode(languageCode)
.build();
String uri = "gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac";
RecognitionAudio audio = RecognitionAudio.newBuilder()
.setUri(uri)
.build();
RecognizeResponse response = speechClient.recognize(config, audio);
}
In RecognizeSpeech.java we put a quick start example, which shows how you can use Google Speech API to automatically recognize speech based on a local file.
For an example audio file, you can use the audio.raw file from the samples repository.
Note, to play the file on Unix-like system you may use the following command: play -t raw -r 16k -e signed -b 16 -c 1 audio.raw
To get help, follow the instructions in the shared Troubleshooting document.
Speech uses gRPC for the transport layer.
Java 7 or above is required for using this client.
This library follows Semantic Versioning.
It is currently in major version zero (0.y.z
), which means that anything may change at any time and the public API should not be considered stable.
Contributions to this library are always welcome and highly encouraged.
