tomfun-speech-to-text-client

Minimal async Python client for the tomfun speech-to-text web API.

• Token authentication (Authorization: Bearer <token>)
• Language hint passed to Whisper
• Upload local files (chunked) or submit a remote URL
• Streams status via Server-Sent Events

Single runtime dependency: aiohttp.

Install

pip install tomfun-speech-to-text-client

Usage

import asyncio
from tomfun_speech_to_text_client import Client

async def main():
    async with Client("https://speech-to-text.tomfun.co", token="YOUR_TOKEN") as c:
        r = await c.transcribe_file("audio.mp3", language="en")
        print(r.text)

        r = await c.transcribe_url("https://example.com/clip.wav", language="uk")
        print(r.srt)

asyncio.run(main())

With progress callback:

async def on_status(ev):
    print(ev["status"], ev.get("progressLast"))

await c.transcribe_file("audio.mp3", language="en", on_status=on_status)

Cancel a job:

await c.cancel(job_id)

Speaker diarization (server-side pyannote):

r = await c.transcribe_file("meeting.mp3", language="ru", diarize=True)
print(r.diarized)            # SRT with a [SPEAKER_xx] prefix per cue, or None
print(r.speaker_embeddings)  # base64 .npy, shape (numSpeakers, embeddingDim), or None

Both diarization fields are None when diarize wasn't requested — and also when the server's diarization failed on an otherwise successful job, so always check them.

Publishing to PyPI

1. Create a PyPI API token at https://pypi.org/manage/account/token/.
2. Bump version in pyproject.toml.
3. Build:

   uv build
   

4. Upload. uv publish does not read ~/.pypirc (only --token / UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN, --username/--password, keyring, trusted publishing), so with the token stored there the shortest path is twine, which picks it up on its own — name the new version explicitly, otherwise twine trips over the already-published files in dist/:

   uv tool run --with twine twine upload dist/tomfun_speech_to_text_client-0.0.5*
   

   Or pass the token to uv directly:

   uv publish --token "$PYPI_TOKEN"
