Convert your audio files into text using Google Cloud Speech API

In this post, I will show you how to convert audio files into a text document using Python. Speech recognition is the process of this conversion. It is commonly used in the real world. For example, personal voice assistants such as Google’s Home Mini, Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri are just some of the popular ones that we know.Speech recognition helps you to save time by speaking instead of typing. It helps us to communicate with our devices without writing one line of code. This makes technological devices more accessible and easier to use.

Speech recognition is a nice example of using artificial intelligence in the real world.

Here is a scene from Google I/O 2019 event. Google Assistant in action!

In this post, we will create a simple speech recognition model that can detect sentences from an audio file then we will export those sentences into a text document. In a future post, I would like to show you another great example of speech recognition where you can convert your speech into a text format in real-time.

Are you ready? Let’s get to coding!
