This is a simple web-interface and Node server that uses DeepSpeech to create a local Speech-to-Text service.
I mostly built it for myself, in order to play around with DeepSpeech, but it can be used as a starting point for your own experiments.
The demo relies on SoX being available on your system and in your PATH.
A quick seach for how to install SoX on (windows|ubuntu|mac) should do the trick
for you if you don't know how to install it, at least it did for me.
First, clone the repository:
git clone git@github.com:asciidisco/deepspeech-demo.gitThen change into the directory & perform an npm install:
npm installAs this downloads the pre-trained models from the DeepSpeech releases as a postinstall step, which are roughly 1.4 GB, it might take a while.
After that, start the server using:
npm startAnd navigate to http://localhost:3000
The user interface is quite reduced, after you´ve agreed that the page is allowed to use your microphone, you just need to hit the "Listen" button and speak a few words into your microphone. After you finished your sentence, you need to hit the "Listening..." button once again, so that the recorded sound can be processed. After a few seconds, you should see the text in the result box below the button.
