SpeechSynthesis

This package is the only one that can convert speech to text in Node.js for free. I created it because the other options are either paid or not functional. Give it a try and report any errors or correct the code.

Requirements

Python: Python must be installed on your system.

Installation

npm i @luoshenshi/speechsynthesis

Usage

const { SpeechSynthesis } = require("@luoshenshi/speechsynthesis");
const speech = new SpeechSynthesis("en");

(async () => {
  try {
    await speech.onReady();
    console.log("Listening...");
    const text = await speech.listen();
    console.log(text);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err.message);
  }
})();
