Speech Recognition is an important feature in several applications used such as home automation, artificial intelligence, etc.
First, let’s install the required modules:
pip install speechrecognition
pip install pyaudio
pip install pyttsx3
Speech Input Using a Microphone and Translation of Speech to Text
- Allow Adjusting for Ambient Noise: Since the surrounding noise varies, we must allow the program a second or too to adjust the energy threshold of recording so it is adjusted according to the external noise level.
- Speech to text translation: This is done with the help of Google Speech Recognition. This requires an active internet connection to work. However, there are certain offline Recognition systems such as PocketSphinx but have a very rigorous installation process that requires several dependencies. Google Speech Recognition is one of the easiest to use.
import speech_recognition as sr import pyttsx3 # Initialize the recognizer r = sr.Recognizer() # Function to convert text to # speech def SpeakText(command): # Initialize the engine engine = pyttsx3.init() engine.say(command) engine.runAndWait() # Loop infinitely for user to # speak while(1): # Exception handling to handle # exceptions at the runtime try: # use the microphone as source for input. with sr.Microphone() as source2: # wait for a second to let the recognizer # adjust the energy threshold based on # the surrounding noise level r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source2, duration=0.2) #listens for the user's input audio2 = r.listen(source2) # Using ggogle to recognize audio MyText = r.recognize_google(audio2) MyText = MyText.lower() print(MyText) SpeakText(MyText) except sr.RequestError as e: print("Could not request results; {0}".format(e)) except sr.UnknownValueError: print("unknown error occured")
