Baby Dolmetscher - use Google Services like Text2Speech, Natural Language, Custom Image Search and HTML5 MediaStreamRecorder

This tool let you:

  • record your voice usign the HTML5 MediaStreamRecorder,
  • transcribe it using Google's Cloud Speech-to-Text API
  • analyse and segment it using Google's Cloud Natural Language API
  • search for each word and display the result from Google's Image Search
  • read the transcript back to you using your browsers SpeechSynthesisUtterance feature

Preparation

You will need a web server and PHP>=7 If you don't have it yet get composer

You need to create two API KEY Credentials from Google's API and Cloud Console:

First a service account for the google cloud services: Go to: https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/serviceaccounts

The service account need at least the following permissions: iam.serviceAccounts.actAs You can either create your own role for this or use an existing one like roles/iam.serviceAccountUser aka Dienstkontonutzer.

Next you need an API Key for the google APIs Go to: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials?folder&organizationId

Select the following APIs:

  • Custom Search API
  • Cloud Natural Language API
  • Cloud Speech-to-Text API
  • Cloud Text-to-Speech API

Add further Limits as you wish. Please note HTTP-Referrer will not work, due to server to server communications.

Also Usage of cloud services and the Custom Search API is subject to billing - but you will have a fair amount of free queries each month. Just keep in mind before you publish your app.

Installation

  • git clone the repository in a directory of your choice.
  • go to that directory and install the latest dependencies by executing php composer.phar install
  • execute php composer.phar install twice in order to let the post-install-cmd script kick in.
  • you should have gotten two json files from the Preparation step - copy them into the config folder
  • open the server.php file and adapt the name of your project and the path of the credential files
  • you may change the LANGUAGE_CODE there as well - see supported languages in the natural language documentation
  • the web directory should be used as document root by your webserver
  • once you see the website follow the instructions there
