How to Convert Speech to Text in Python using Google Speech

In this article i want to show you an example of Python With Google Speech, so Speech Recognition is a library for performing speech recognition, with support for several engines and APIs, online and offline.

Speech recognition engine/API support

• CMU Sphinx (works offline)
• Google Speech Recognition
• Google Cloud Speech API
• Wit.ai
• Microsoft Bing Voice Recognition
• Houndify API
• IBM Speech to Text
• Snowboy Hotword Detection (works offline)

So now for this first of all you need to install speechRecognition Library in Python ,

First, make sure you have all the requirements listed in the “Requirements” section.

The easiest way to install this is using pip install SpeechRecognition.

Otherwise, download the source distribution from PyPI, and extract the archive.

In the folder, run python setup.py install.

Requirements

• Python 2.6, 2.7, or 3.3+ (required)
• PyAudio 0.2.11+ (required only if you need to use microphone input, Microphone)
• PocketSphinx (required only if you need to use the Sphinx recognizer, recognizer_instance.recognize_sphinx)
• Google API Client Library for Python (required only if you need to use the Google Cloud Speech API, recognizer_instance.recognize_google_cloud)
• FLAC encoder (required only if the system is not x86-based Windows/Linux/OS X)

So now this is the complete code for Python Speech Recognition With Google Speech

import speech_recognition as sr



def main():

    r = sr.Recognizer()

    with sr.Microphone() as source:
        r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)

        print("Please say something")

        audio = r.listen(source)

        print("Recognizing Now .... ")


        # recognize speech using google

        try:
            print("You have said \n" + r.recognize_google(audio))
            print("Audio Recorded Successfully \n ")


        except Exception as e:
            print("Error :  " + str(e))




        # write audio

        with open("recorded.wav", "wb") as f:
            f.write(audio.get_wav_data())


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

So at the top first we have created a recognizer object, also for removing noises we need to add this line of code

r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)

And in here we are recognizing the speech using Google Speech

print("You have said \n" + r.recognize_google(audio))

In here we are going to record the audio

        with open("recorded.wav", "wb") as f:
            f.write(audio.get_wav_data())

Now run the code and this will be the result

Pdf2gerb: Perl Script Converts PDF Files to Gerber format

pdf2gerb

Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format

Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.

The general workflow is as follows:

1. Design the PCB using your favorite CAD or drawing software.
2. Print the top and bottom copper and top silk screen layers to a PDF file.
3. Run Pdf2Gerb on the PDFs to create Gerber and Excellon files.
4. Use a Gerber viewer to double-check the output against the original PCB design.
5. Make adjustments as needed.
6. Submit the files to a PCB manufacturer.

Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).

See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.

Get Google Trends using Python

In this post, we will show how we can use Python to get data from Google Trends. Let’s have a look at the top trending searches for today in the US (14th of March, 2020). As we can see, the top search is about Coronavirus tips with more than 2M searches, and at the 7th position is Rick Pitino with around 100K searches.

Python package for getting the Google Trends

We will use the pytrends package which is an unofficial API for Google Trends which allows a simple interface for automating downloading of reports from Google Trends. The main feature is to allow the script to login to Google on your behalf to enable a higher rate limit. At this point, I want to mention that I couldn’t use this package and I created a new anaconda environment installing the pandas 0.25 version.

You can install the pytrends package with pip:

pip install pytrends
