利用Google Speech API实现Speech To Text

2022-10-07 09:24:35

很久很久以前, 网上流传着一个免费的,识别率暴高的,稳定的 Speech To Text API, 那就是Google Speech API. 但是最近再使用的时候,总是返回500 Error. 后来通过查看源码知道需要增加一个参数:key=.... 可能是为了防止滥用吧. 并且, 最近Chrome另外发布了一个长连接实时的识别接口, 这对开发者来说真是巨大的福音啊. 在这里主要对这两个接口的用法进行介绍.

申请Chromium API keys

本文使用的Google Speech API是为google自家的浏览器Chrome服务的. 可以通过这个Demo体验一下实际使用的效果: Google Speech To Text Demo.

Chrome来源于开源项目Chromium. 为了方便开发者调试使用, google 开放了这个STT(Speech to Text)接口. 但是, 因为这个借口只供调试使用, 所以在流量和次数上都有限制.并且, 不提供购买.

好了, 背景介绍完毕, 我们来第一步: 申请Chromium开发者权限.

具体步骤请参考how to get chromium API keys).

Acquiring Keys

Make sure you are a member of chromium-dev@chromium.org (you can just subscribe to chromium-dev and choose not to receive mail).

For convenience, the APIs below are only visible to people subscribed to that group.

Make sure you are logged in with the Google account associated with the email address that you used to subscribe to chromium-dev.

Go to https://cloud.google.com/console(请使用旧版console)

Click the red Create project… button.

(Optional) You may add other members of your organization or team on the Team tab.

In the ‘APIs & auth’ > APIs tab, click the On/Off button to turn each of the following APIs to the On position, and read and agree to the Terms of Service that is shown:

(This list might be out of date; try searching for APIs starting with “Chrome” or having “for Chrome” in the name.) * Chrome Remote Desktop API

Chrome Spelling API

Chrome Suggest API

Chrome Sync API

Chrome Translate Element

Google Maps Geolocation API (requires enabling billing but is free to use; you can skip this one, in which case geolocation features of Chrome will not work)

Safe Browsing API

Speech API

Time Zone API

Google Cloud Messaging for Chrome

Google Now For Chrome API

If any of these APIs are not shown, recheck step 1.

Go to the Credentials tab under the APIs & auth tab.

Click the red Create New Client ID button in the OAuth section to create an OAuth 2.0 client ID.

You want “Installed Application” for the Application type section

You want “Other” for the Installed application type section

A new box should now appear titled “Client ID for installed applications”. In the next sections, we will refer to the values of the “Client ID” and “Client secret” fields in this box later (below).

Click the red Create New Key button in the Public API Access section and create a new Browser key.

You want to leave the box on the “Create a browser key and configure allowed referers” empty.

A new box should appear titled “Key for browser applications”. The next sections will refer to the value of the “API key” field too.

好了, 到这里, 我们已经获得了应用key, 在下文我们用{key}表示这个key.

One Shot Recognition

我们用curl来向服务器发送请求:

curl -X POST \

--data-binary @speech.flac \

--user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.77 Safari/535.7' \

--header 'Content-Type: audio/x-flac; rate=8000;' \

'https://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize?client=chromium&lang=zh-CN&maxresults=5&pfilter=0&key=AIzaSyC6Tkf4*****Q0CdISn-qnHhwLaS3cg2a0'

参数	解释
-X POST	表示发送HTTP请求
–data-binary @speech.flac	发送音频文件`speech.flac`
–user-agent ‘…’	http的参数,设置浏览器的`user-agent`信息
–header	http的参数. 指定了传送内容的类型(`audio/flac`)和音频频率(`8000Hz`). 注意, 只支持特定的几种频率(`8000Hz,4000Hz`还有几个记不清了),上传的flac文件频率要和参数一致.
https://www.google.com/…/&key=AIzaSyC6Tkf*****Q0CdISn-qnHhwLaS3cg2a0	http请求地址,其中最后一部分的key,应该替换为您申请的`{key}`.

等待一分钟左右, 如果你运气好的话, 能看到如下结果:

结果格式如下, 应该很清晰了吧:

{

    "status": 0,

    "id": "b3447b5d98c5653e0067f35b32c0a8ca-1",

    "hypotheses":

    [

        {

            "utterance": "i like pickles",

            "confidence": 0.9012539

        },

        {

            "utterance": "i like pickle"

        }

    ]

}

如果您录音的格式不对的话, 可以用开源软件sox方便的转换格式和码率. 举个栗子:

sox ./speech.mp3 -b 8 speech.flac trim 0 15

参数	解释
./speech.mp3	输入文件
-b 8	输出文件频率为 8kHz
speech.flac	输出文件名
trim 0 15	截取输入文件的0~15秒的部分, 输出出来

Stream Recognition

后来, Google 提供了更先进的live的双向的识别接口. 即同时打开两个HTTP连接, 一个负责实时发送(POST)音频流, 一个负责接受(GET).

这里有一个PHP版本的Demo. 可以参考实现您自己的Stream Recognition:
