Are you looking to use Google's speech recognition service? It's meant for use with the Chrome browser. I suppose you can play around with it for non-commercial, personal use. Bear in mind Google can pull the plug on public access to the API at any time. Here's the unofficial spec: https://gist.github.com/1730160 And a rough draft: import urllib import urllib2 import json SPEECH_URL = 'https://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize' CLIENT = 'chromium' USER_AGENT = ( 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) ' 'AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML like Gecko) ' 'Chrome/22.0.1229.56 Safari/537.4') def gspeech(data, rate=16000, lang='en-US', maxresults=10): params = urllib.urlencode({ 'lang': lang, 'maxresults': maxresults, 'client': CLIENT}) url = '{0}?{1}'.format(SPEECH_URL, params) header = { 'Content-Type': 'audio/x-flac; rate={0}'.format(rate), 'User-Agent': USER_AGENT} request = urllib2.Request(url, data, header) data = urllib2.urlopen(request).read() return json.loads(data) Sample data: http://archive.org/details/MichaelGraySampleSamplewav >>> url = ('http://archive.org/download/' ... 'MichaelGraySampleSamplewav/Sample.flac') >>> data = urllib2.urlopen(url).read() >>> result = gspeech(data, 44100, 'en-UK') >>> result['hypotheses'][0]['utterance'] u"I'm speaking normally" >>> result['hypotheses'][0]['confidence'] 0.7365484 _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
