Speaker 1: Hi and welcome to All About Podcast, my name is Florante, today's video we're going to talk about speech recognition. Now speech recognition basically it's all about getting your audio files transcribed automatically using an API and right now in this video tutorial that I'm going to share with you, I'm going to make use of Google's speech recognition API. Now this is part of the Euponics services and if you're already logged into your Euponic account you can access that one and you know configure the settings by going to the services tab and once you're on the services tab you will see at the bottom part under automatic speech recognition services there is WIT.AI and there's also there Google. So that's what we're going to configure and we're going to test out to see for yourself how this one would actually benefit your show if you really wanted to get the transcriptions which I would definitely recommend to anyone who is into podcasting. Alright so the first thing we're going to do is generate an API from Google's platform so I'll just click on Google here. So right here this instruction on how to create cloud speech API. This is the Google cloud platform that you are seeing right now. Now to generate the API that we need we'll go ahead and go to API's overview and look for the speech recognition API. Okay so there is speech API. Okay I'll just go ahead and click on enable. Okay since we have already enabled that one I'll go ahead and get the credentials or the API for that one. API key. And I'll go ahead and just paste it here on the API key field in AOphonic. And I'll click on save. Okay so I already have the AAP or the speech recognition API set up on my account. What I'm going to do now is I'll just go ahead and try to record a very short clip that we'll try and test out to see how this speech recognition performs. So I'll go ahead and create a recording. Okay so I'll go ahead and do a very short, I'll do a short recording just to test out how this would perform once we upload it to AOphonic's web service. Hi and welcome to All About Podcasts. My name is Florante and today we're testing out this feature from AOphonic's web service using the Google API speech recognition and we're going to test out how this will perform and how accurate the results would be with regards to the recording that we're going to upload and test out for this episode. So if you want to learn more about Google's speech recognition machine or AOphonic's speech recognition and auto transcription, feel free to visit AOphonic.com. Once again this is Florante, have a great day. All right so what we're going to do now is we're going to upload the test file that we have recorded earlier. So that's speech recognition test. And for the output I'll go ahead and choose Google API under the speech recognition. So I'll have the MP3 for the output files. I'll have the MP3 file and at the same time I also have the transcript. So that's in HTML format. Okay so the speech recognition language, of course I'll set it to United States and the rest I'll just leave it as it is. So we'll go ahead and see how this will perform. I'll go ahead and click on start production. Okay so the transcript is completed. I'll go ahead and open this one. Let me see what happened. Hi and welcome to All About Podcasts.

Have a great day. Okay so there you go. That's the result of the test that we have made on the speech recognition using Google's speech recognition API. So it's not perfect. There are still errors but it is something that can be corrected. But it's going to definitely save you a lot of time. So if this is something that you would like to test out, I would suggest that you just make sure that you speak clearly and that you enunciate and pronounce the words correctly. If you're going to do that, you will definitely get a higher rate of accuracy in terms of the output that you're going to get. So that's about it for today.

And again my name is Florante and thank you so much for watching. Have a pleasant day.
