AccessKey

Leopard requires a valid Picovoice AccessKey at initialization. AccessKey acts as your credentials when using Leopard SDKs. You can get your AccessKey for free. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret. Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey.

Usage

Create an instance of the engine and transcribe an audio file:

import pvleopard

handle = pvleopard.create(access_key='${ACCESS_KEY}')

print(handle.process_file('${AUDIO_PATH}'))

Replace ${ACCESS_KEY} with yours obtained from Picovoice Console and ${AUDIO_PATH} to the path an audio file. Finally, when done be sure to explicitly release the resources using handle.delete().

Demos

pvleoparddemo provides command-line utilities for processing audio using Leopard.
