A Web Application for Speech to Text Classification

This document is a guide to the basics of using Speech-to-Text. This conceptual guide covers the types of requests you can make to Speech-to-Text, how to construct those requests, and how to handle their responses. We recommend that all users of Speech-to-Text read this guide and one of the associated tutorials before diving into the API itself. A Speech-to-Text API synchronous recognition request is the simplest method for performing recognition on speech audio data. Speech-to-Text can process up to 1 minute of speech audio data sent in a synchronous request. After Speech-to-Text processes and recognizes all of the audio, it returns a response.

A synchronous request is blocking, meaning that Speech-to-Text must return a response before processing the next request. Speech-to-Text typically processes audio faster than realtime, processing 30 seconds of audio in 15 seconds on average. In cases of poor audio quality, your recognition request can take significantly longer.
