WebSpeechRecognition Library

Introduction

WebSpeechRecognition is a Python library that helps turn speech into text in real time. It uses the Selenium WebDriver and the HTML5 Web Speech API. This tool is built to work with Chrome WebDriver and is easy to use for speech recognition tasks.

Installation

To install WebSpeechRecognition, you can use pip:

pip install WebSpeechRecognition

Features

• Works in Many Languages: You can set the language you want using simple codes like "en-US" for English.
• Change Language Easily: You can pick a language at any time while using it.
• Simple Functions: It has easy-to-understand methods to start and stop speech recognition.

Usage

Initialization

To start using WebSpeechRecognition, initialize the SpeechRecognition class with the path to your ChromeDriver executable and the language code:

from WebSpeechRecognition import SpeechRecognition

recognizer = SpeechRecognition("path/to/chromedriver", language="en-US")
recognizer.Init()

Speech Recognition

To start listening and transcribing speech, use the Listen method. This method returns the transcribed text:

text = recognizer.Listen(print_allowed=True)
print(f"You said: {text}")

Close the Driver

Once you are done, use the Quit method to close the ChromeDriver instance:

recognizer.Quit()

Examples

Here is a complete example:

from WebSpeechRecognition import SpeechRecognition

recognizer = SpeechRecognition("path/to/chromedriver", language="en-US")
recognizer.Init()

while True:
    try:
        text = recognizer.Listen(print_allowed=True)
        print(f"You said: {text}")
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        recognizer.Quit()
        break

Parameters

SpeechRecognition(driver_path, language)

• driver_path: The path to the Chrome WebDriver file.
• language: The language code for recognition (default: "en-US").

Init()

Sets up the WebDriver with options for speech recognition.

Listen(print_allowed=False)
