Speech Recognition in Python using Google Speech API

Hai Friends,

Have you ever thought of giving your computer the ability to understand your voice?  If so, then keep reading! It’s easier than you might think.

Alexa, the virtual assistant developed by Amazon is becoming the key to our life and home and even Amazon is surprised by how much people love Alexa.

We have Google Assistant in our mobiles, that can perform a lot of tasks on command. So incorporating speech recognition into various projects that you work with, will certainly provide a level of interactivity and accessibility that only few technologies can match. Speech recognition has now become an important feature in many  applications such as home automation, artificial intelligence, virtual assistant, etc.

Let's build a Speech Recognition program in Python using Google Speech API

Requirements:

• SpeechRecognition

Library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline.

• PyAudio

Bindings for PortAudio v19, the cross-platform audio input/output stream library.

Installation:
pip install SpeechRecognition
pip install PyAudio


Python program for Speech Recogniton:
