azure-STT-helper

A simple Javascript wrapper over the Azure Speech Services Speech-To-Text (STT) REST API, because I didn't like the current Microsoft solution. Uses axios for the HTTP requests for Frontend & Backend support.

For an example usage see here.

Installing

$ npm install @lkennxyz/azure-stt-helper
/* or */
$ yarn add @lkennxyz/azure-stt-helper

Quickstart

import { azureSTT } from '@lkennxyz/azure-stt-helper'

async function stt () {

    /* Record or Import your wav file here... */

    const result = await azureSTT({
        region: 'YOUR_REGION',
        token: 'YOUR TOKEN',
        /* OR */
        subscriptionKey: 'YOUR_SUBSCRIPTION_KEY',
        language: 'YOUR_LANGUAGE',
        wav: yourWavFile,
    });
    //Output just the STT result text
    console.log(result.DisplayText);
}
