How to build your own Speech-to-Text Transcription App in Python using AssemblyAI

1. Obtain the AssemblyAI API key

2. Running transcriber as command line tool

Firstly, copy and paste the AssemblyAI API key into the api.txt file (you can replace the text replace_with_your_AssemblyAI_API_key with your own API key).

Secondly, install prerequisite pytube library by typing the following:

pip3 install pytube

Thirdly, run the transcriber by typing the following (note that you can replace the URL with a YouTube video of your choice):

python3 transcriber.py -i "https://youtu.be/mkVjrB8g6mM"

3. Running transcriber as a Streamlit app

To recreate this web app on your own computer, do the following.

Create conda environment (Optional)

Firstly, we will create a conda environment called transcriber

conda create -n transcriber python=3.7.9

Secondly, we will login to the transcriber environment

conda activate transcriber

Download GitHub repo

git clone https://github.com/dataprofessor/transcriber-app

Pip install libraries

pip install -r requirements.txt

Launch the app

streamlit run app.py
