keyFilename

 

Yes

Full path to the a .json, .pem, or .p12 key downloaded from the Google Developers Console. If you provide a path to a JSON file, the projectId option below is not necessary. NOTE: .pem and .p12 require you to specify options.email as well.

longRunningRecognize(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Performs asynchronous speech recognition: receive results via the google.longrunning.Operations interface. Returns either an Operation.error or an Operation.response which contains a LongRunningRecognizeResponse message.

Example 

const speech = require('speech.v1p1beta1');

const client = new speech.v1p1beta1.SpeechClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const encoding = 'FLAC';
const sampleRateHertz = 44100;
const languageCode = 'en-US';
const config = {
  encoding: encoding,
  sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
  languageCode: languageCode,
};
const uri = 'gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac';
const audio = {
  uri: uri,
};
const request = {
  config: config,
  audio: audio,
};

// Handle the operation using the promise pattern.
client.longRunningRecognize(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const [operation, initialApiResponse] = responses;

    // Operation#promise starts polling for the completion of the LRO.
    return operation.promise();
  })
  .then(responses => {
    const result = responses[0];
    const metadata = responses[1];
    const finalApiResponse = responses[2];
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

const encoding = 'FLAC';
const sampleRateHertz = 44100;
const languageCode = 'en-US';
const config = {
  encoding: encoding,
  sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
  languageCode: languageCode,
};
const uri = 'gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac';
const audio = {
  uri: uri,
};
const request = {
  config: config,
  audio: audio,
};

// Handle the operation using the event emitter pattern.
client.longRunningRecognize(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const [operation, initialApiResponse] = responses;

    // Adding a listener for the "complete" event starts polling for the
    // completion of the operation.
    operation.on('complete', (result, metadata, finalApiResponse) => {
      // doSomethingWith(result);
    });

    // Adding a listener for the "progress" event causes the callback to be
    // called on any change in metadata when the operation is polled.
    operation.on('progress', (metadata, apiResponse) => {
      // doSomethingWith(metadata)
    });

    // Adding a listener for the "error" event handles any errors found during polling.
    operation.on('error', err => {
      // throw(err);
    });
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

const encoding = 'FLAC';
const sampleRateHertz = 44100;
const languageCode = 'en-US';
const config = {
  encoding: encoding,
  sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
  languageCode: languageCode,
};
const uri = 'gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac';
const audio = {
  uri: uri,
};
const request = {
  config: config,
  audio: audio,
};

// Handle the operation using the await pattern.
const [operation] = await client.longRunningRecognize(request);

const [response] = await operation.promise();

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

config

Object

 

Required Provides information to the recognizer that specifies how to process the request.

This object should have the same structure as RecognitionConfig

audio

Object

 

Required The audio data to be recognized.

This object should have the same structure as RecognitionAudio

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is a gax.Operation object.
Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is a gax.Operation object. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

recognize(request[, options][, callback]) → Promise

Performs synchronous speech recognition: receive results after all audio has been sent and processed.

Example 

const speech = require('speech.v1p1beta1');

const client = new speech.v1p1beta1.SpeechClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const encoding = 'FLAC';
const sampleRateHertz = 44100;
const languageCode = 'en-US';
const config = {
  encoding: encoding,
  sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
  languageCode: languageCode,
};
const uri = 'gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac';
const audio = {
  uri: uri,
};
const request = {
  config: config,
  audio: audio,
};
client.recognize(request)
  .then(responses => {
    const response = responses[0];
    // doThingsWith(response)
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err);
  });

Parameters

Name Type Optional Description

request

Object

 

The request object that will be sent.

Values in request have the following properties:

Name Type Optional Description

config

Object

 

Required Provides information to the recognizer that specifies how to process the request.

This object should have the same structure as RecognitionConfig

audio

Object

 

Required The audio data to be recognized.

This object should have the same structure as RecognitionAudio

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.

callback

function(nullable Error, nullable Object)

Yes

The function which will be called with the result of the API call.

The second parameter to the callback is an object representing RecognizeResponse.
Returns

Promise 

  • The promise which resolves to an array. The first element of the array is an object representing RecognizeResponse. The promise has a method named "cancel" which cancels the ongoing API call.

streamingRecognize([options]) → Stream

Performs bidirectional streaming speech recognition: receive results while sending audio. This method is only available via the gRPC API (not REST).

Example 

const speech = require('speech.v1p1beta1');

const client = new speech.v1p1beta1.SpeechClient({
  // optional auth parameters.
});

const stream = client.streamingRecognize().on('data', response => {
  // doThingsWith(response)
});
const request = {};
// Write request objects.
stream.write(request);

Parameter

Name Type Optional Description

options

Object

Yes

Optional parameters. You can override the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, paginations, etc. See gax.CallOptions for the details.
Returns

Stream 

An object stream which is both readable and writable. It accepts objects representing StreamingRecognizeRequest for write() method, and will emit objects representing StreamingRecognizeResponse on 'data' event asynchronously.
