Audio 2 Text

This repo uses googles python api to turn speech into text. This is something I did fairly quickly in my own time, it's not the best code, but it'll work, feel free to send me a pull request if you want anything changed.

Requirements

• A file called creds.json placed at the root of the repo, this is the credentials file provided by google
• Ensure ffmpeg works on your system
• Your python environment has access to google.oauth2 and google.cloud.speech_v1p1beta1 (pip install something, I don't remember what)
• A subdirectory under the root folder called audios

How it works

• Takes the audio files (ending in mp3) in the audios sub directory.
• Uses ffmpeg to split them into 50s chunks (as there is a limit on the google api)
• Sends each segment of the audio to the google api for translation
• Combines the audio sub segments together into an output file
• Removes the temporary 50s audio files
