DS-TRANSCRIBER

Need an Offline Speech To Text converter?

Records your mic, and returns a String containing what was said.

Features

• Begins transcription after a long enough pause has been detected
• Change the length of the pause required to begin transcription
• Shows you the audio levels of what is being recorded so that you can...
• Change the audio level of what you deem as silence in your environment

Ds-Transcriber is backed by the awesome cpal for streaming and nnnoiseless for audio cleanup.

Setting Up

You need to obtain the deepspeech-model (tested with 0.9.x) and the native-client for your system and add that folder to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH environment variables. See the quick start guide over at deepspeech-rs.

Usage

Add the crate to your Cargo.toml

toml [dependencies] ds-transcriber = "0.1.3"

Instantiate your model:

rust // the path where your model and native-client lie let model_dir_str = args().nth(1).expect("Please specify model dir"); let mut ds_model = DeepSpeechModel::instantiate_from(model_dir_str); let model = ds_model.model();

Create a mutable configuration with your model

rust let mut config = ds_transcriber::transcriber::StreamSettings { //value used for pause detection, a pause is detected when the amplitude is less than this silence_level: 200, // takes a reference of the model we instantiated earlier model, // show the amplitude values on stdout (helps you to find your silence level) show_amplitudes: true, // seconds of silence indicating end of speech (begin transcription when pause_length is greater than....) pause_length: 2.0, };

After getting config ready, all you need to do is pass it to transcribe:

rust let i_said = ds_transcriber::transcriber::transcribe(&mut config).unwrap(); println!("I said: {}", i_said);

Repeat the last step to get another transcription with the same configuration.
