Methods

SpeechClient

SpeechClient(*, credentials: Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials] = None, transport: Optional[Union[str, google.cloud.speech_v1.services.speech.transports.base.SpeechTransport]] = None, client_options: Optional[google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions] = None, client_info: google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo = <google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo object>)

Instantiates the speech client.

Parameters

Name	Description
credentials	`Optional[google.auth.credentials.Credentials]` The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify the application to the service; if none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment.
transport	`Union[str, SpeechTransport]` The transport to use. If set to None, a transport is chosen automatically.
client_options	`google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions` Custom options for the client. It won't take effect if a `transport` instance is provided. (1) The `api_endpoint` property can be used to override the default endpoint provided by the client. GOOGLE_API_USE_MTLS_ENDPOINT environment variable can also be used to override the endpoint: "always" (always use the default mTLS endpoint), "never" (always use the default regular endpoint) and "auto" (auto switch to the default mTLS endpoint if client certificate is present, this is the default value). However, the `api_endpoint` property takes precedence if provided. (2) If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE environment variable is "true", then the `client_cert_source` property can be used to provide client certificate for mutual TLS transport. If not provided, the default SSL client certificate will be used if present. If GOOGLE_API_USE_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE is "false" or not set, no client certificate will be used.
client_info	`google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo` The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If `None`, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

Exceptions

Type	Description
google.auth.exceptions.MutualTLSChannelError	If mutual TLS transport creation failed for any reason.

exit

__exit__(type, value, traceback)

Releases underlying transport's resources.

.. warning:: ONLY use as a context manager if the transport is NOT shared with other clients! Exiting the with block will CLOSE the transport and may cause errors in other clients!

Parameters

Name	Description
requests	`Iterator[google.cloud.speech_v1.types.StreamingRecognizeRequest]` The request object iterator. The top-level message sent by the client for the `StreamingRecognize` method.

All subsequent messages must contain `audio_content` and must not contain a `streaming_config` message.
retry	`google.api_core.retry.Retry` Designation of what errors, if any, should be retried.
timeout	`float` The timeout for this request.
metadata	`Sequence[Tuple[str, str]]` Strings which should be sent along with the request as metadata.

Returns

Type

Description

Iterable[google.cloud.speech_v1.types.StreamingRecognizeResponse]

StreamingRecognizeResponse is the only message returned to the client by StreamingRecognize. A series of zero or more StreamingRecognizeResponse messages are streamed back to the client. If there is no recognizable audio, and single_utterance is set to false, then no messages are streamed back to the client. Here's an example of a series of StreamingRecognizeResponses that might be returned while processing audio: 1. results { alternatives { transcript: "tube" } stability: 0.01 } 2. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be a" } stability: 0.01 } 3. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be" } stability: 0.9 } results { alternatives { transcript: " or not to be" } stability: 0.01 } 4. results { alternatives { transcript: "to be or not to be" confidence: 0.92 } alternatives { transcript: "to bee or not to bee" } is_final: true } 5. results { alternatives { transcript: " that's" } stability: 0.01 } 6. results { alternatives { transcript: " that is" } stability: 0.9 } results { alternatives { transcript: " the question" } stability: 0.01 } 7. results { alternatives { transcript: " that is the question" confidence: 0.98 } alternatives { transcript: " that was the question" } is_final: true } Notes: - Only two of the above responses #4 and #7 contain final results; they are indicated by is_final: true. Concatenating these together generates the full transcript: "to be or not to be that is the question". - The others contain interim results. #3 and #6 contain two interim \`results`: the first portion has a high stability and is less likely to change; the second portion has a low stability and is very likely to change. A UI designer might choose to show only high stability results. - The specific stability and confidence values shown above are only for illustrative purposes. Actual values may vary. - In each response, only one of these fields will be set: error, speech_event_type, or one or more (repeated) results.
