Speechmatics

Speechmatics (https://speechmatics.com) provides an API for speech to text (https://speechmatics.com/api-details).

This gem implements the API making it easier to integrate into Ruby and/or Rails projects.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'speechmatics'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install speechmatics

Usage

See the tests, or here is basic usage:

# configure with api key and user id to use for all requsts
Speechmatics.configure do |sm|
  sm.auth_token = '<your api key here>'
  sm.user_id    = 1234

  # these are defaults
  sm.adapter    = :excon
  sm.endpoint   = 'https://api.speechmatics.com/v1.0/'
  sm.user_agent = "Speechmatics Ruby Gem #{Speechmatics::VERSION}"
end

# create a new client
c = Speechmatics::Client.new

# create a new client, passing in Faraday parameters
# you can also pass in the same options as in `configure`
c = Speechmatics::Client.new(:request => { :timeout => 240 })

# retrieve user
j = c.user.get

# list jobs
jobs = c.user.jobs.list

# create job
info = c.user.jobs.create(data_file: '/Users/nobody/dev/speechmatics/test/zero.wav')

# create job with more options
info = c.user.jobs.create(
  data_file: '/Users/nobody/dev/speechmatics/test/zero.wav',
  content_type: 'audio/x-wav; charset=binary',
  notification: '<email | none | callback>',
  callback: 'http://www.example.com/transcript_callback'
)

# retrieve job
job = c.user.jobs.find(5678)

# retrieve trancript for a job
trans = c.user.jobs(5678).transcript
# alt syntax
trans = c.user.jobs.transcript(5678)
