speech_to_text python command not working
Hello all. I'm on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64-bit. I am trying to get IBM Watson BlueMix Speech-To-Text to transcribe my spoken-word audio files. Because I'm not a coder, I tried to find the simplest way to use BlueMix Speech-to-Text. And what I found is [1]https://github.com/rmotr/speech-to-text It's in PyPi Libary: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speech-to-text/0.0.1 Step 1: "pip install speech-to-text". I ran it with sudo to make it work. Step 2: I then ran: speech_to_text -u myUserNameGoesHere -p myPasswordGoesHere -f html -i voice2.ogg transcript.html Starting Upload. [=] 100% Upload finished. Waiting for Transcript Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/speech_to_text", line 11, in sys.exit(speech_to_text()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 722, in __call__ return self.main(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 697, in main rv = self.invoke(ctx) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 895, in invoke return ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 535, in invoke return callback(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/speech_to_text/command.py", line 60, in speech_to_text formatted_output = FormatterClass().format(result) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/speech_to_text/formatters.py", line 36, in format for obj in self._parse(data)) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/speech_to_text/formatters.py", line 10, in _parse for obj in data[`results']) KeyError: `results' __ I was expecting an html with the transcript.

Re: speech_to_text python command not working
Speech to text conversion is not a pure Python solution. It must be based on some kind of "external service". From the details you have provided, it looks like some web service. Yes, you are right. It's based on IBM Watson's web/cloud service. Your error occurs because what the "external service" has delivered it not what "speech-to-text" has expected. More precisely, "speech-to-text" has excepted as result a dict with a "results" key -- but this is missing (likely because some input is wrong or there is a version mismatch between your "speech-to-text" and the "external service"). Someone else also thought there is a version mismatch between the "speech-to-text" and the "external service". The external service has been update four times since the "speech-to-text" library was put together. I expect that the "data" mentioned in the traceback above contains some clues for what went wrong. I would use the Python debugger to investigate along these lines. As you are not yourself a Python programmer, find one in your region to support you. Could someone kindly advise how to use "the Python debugger"? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks for your reply. Appreciate it a lot. I've informed the developer of this issue on both his blog and his github. Hope he can update his "speech-to-text" library to make it work with IBM Watson. It was so good when it was working that the lead of the "developer advocacy team" at IBM Watson reached out to him! > I expect that the "data" mentioned in the traceback above contains > some clues for what went wrong.

[1]https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/pdb.html - but I would reiterate the advice that if you're not a programmer, you should get someone who is to assist you with this, as the debugger will not be easy to use without programming experience (and fixing the problem even more so). Thanks for your sound advice. As I'm already quite overwhelmed with this error as it is, I'll recognize my current limitations and seek help from the more experienced.

Re: speech_to_text python command not working
Hi all. I tried the same command with a different, smaller file. This file is a 90-kilobyte ogg file. The other one was a 26-megabyte ogg file. Wtih this smaller file, there was no error. speech_to_text -u myUsername -p myPassword -f html -i audio-file.ogg transcript.html Starting Upload. [===] 100% Upload finished. Waiting for Transcript Speech > Text finished. In the same folder as the ogg file was an html file with the transcript. So I guess the python command works some times. I'm still not sure if it just doesn't work on large files. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
