RecognitionConfig(mapping=None, *, ignore_unknown_fields=False, **kwargs)

Provides information to the recognizer that specifies how to process the request.

Attributes

Name	Description
encoding	google.cloud.speech_v1.types.RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding Encoding of audio data sent in all RecognitionAudio messages. This field is optional for FLAC and WAV audio files and required for all other audio formats. For details, see AudioEncoding.
sample_rate_hertz	int Sample rate in Hertz of the audio data sent in all RecognitionAudio messages. Valid values are: 8000-48000. 16000 is optimal. For best results, set the sampling rate of the audio source to 16000 Hz. If that's not possible, use the native sample rate of the audio source (instead of re-sampling). This field is optional for FLAC and WAV audio files, but is required for all other audio formats. For details, see AudioEncoding.
audio_channel_count	int The number of channels in the input audio data. ONLY set this for MULTI-CHANNEL recognition. Valid values for LINEAR16, OGG_OPUS and FLAC are 1-8. Valid value for MULAW, AMR, AMR_WB and SPEEX_WITH_HEADER_BYTE is only 1. If 0 or omitted, defaults to one channel (mono). Note: We only recognize the first channel by default. To perform independent recognition on each channel set enable_separate_recognition_per_channel to 'true'.
enable_separate_recognition_per_channel	bool This needs to be set to true explicitly and audio_channel_count > 1 to get each channel recognized separately. The recognition result will contain a channel_tag field to state which channel that result belongs to. If this is not true, we will only recognize the first channel. The request is billed cumulatively for all channels recognized: audio_channel_count multiplied by the length of the audio.
language_code	str Required. The language of the supplied audio as a BCP-47 __ language tag. Example: "en-US". See `Language Support
alternative_language_codes	MutableSequence[str] A list of up to 3 additional BCP-47 __ language tags, listing possible alternative languages of the supplied audio. See `Language Support
max_alternatives	int Maximum number of recognition hypotheses to be returned. Specifically, the maximum number of SpeechRecognitionAlternative messages within each SpeechRecognitionResult. The server may return fewer than max_alternatives. Valid values are 0-30. A value of 0 or 1 will return a maximum of one. If omitted, will return a maximum of one.
profanity_filter	bool If set to true, the server will attempt to filter out profanities, replacing all but the initial character in each filtered word with asterisks, e.g. "f***". If set to false or omitted, profanities won't be filtered out.
adaptation	google.cloud.speech_v1.types.SpeechAdaptation Speech adaptation configuration improves the accuracy of speech recognition. For more information, see the `speech adaptation
speech_contexts	MutableSequence[google.cloud.speech_v1.types.SpeechContext] Array of SpeechContext. A means to provide context to assist the speech recognition. For more information, see `speech adaptation
enable_word_time_offsets	bool If true, the top result includes a list of words and the start and end time offsets (timestamps) for those words. If false, no word-level time offset information is returned. The default is false.
enable_word_confidence	bool If true, the top result includes a list of words and the confidence for those words. If false, no word-level confidence information is returned. The default is false.
enable_automatic_punctuation	bool If 'true', adds punctuation to recognition result hypotheses. This feature is only available in select languages. Setting this for requests in other languages has no effect at all. The default 'false' value does not add punctuation to result hypotheses.
enable_spoken_punctuation	google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.BoolValue The spoken punctuation behavior for the call If not set, uses default behavior based on model of choice e.g. command_and_search will enable spoken punctuation by default If 'true', replaces spoken punctuation with the corresponding symbols in the request. For example, "how are you question mark" becomes "how are you?". See https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/docs/spoken-punctuation for support. If 'false', spoken punctuation is not replaced.
enable_spoken_emojis	google.protobuf.wrappers_pb2.BoolValue The spoken emoji behavior for the call If not set, uses default behavior based on model of choice If 'true', adds spoken emoji formatting for the request. This will replace spoken emojis with the corresponding Unicode symbols in the final transcript. If 'false', spoken emojis are not replaced.
diarization_config	google.cloud.speech_v1.types.SpeakerDiarizationConfig Config to enable speaker diarization and set additional parameters to make diarization better suited for your application. Note: When this is enabled, we send all the words from the beginning of the audio for the top alternative in every consecutive STREAMING responses. This is done in order to improve our speaker tags as our models learn to identify the speakers in the conversation over time. For non-streaming requests, the diarization results will be provided only in the top alternative of the FINAL SpeechRecognitionResult.
metadata	google.cloud.speech_v1.types.RecognitionMetadata Metadata regarding this request.
model	str Which model to select for the given request. Select the model best suited to your domain to get best results. If a model is not explicitly specified, then we auto-select a model based on the parameters in the RecognitionConfig. .. raw:: html Model Description latest_long Best for long form content like media or conversation. latest_short Best for short form content like commands or single shot directed speech. command_and_search Best for short queries such as voice commands or voice search. phone_call Best for audio that originated from a phone call (typically recorded at an 8khz sampling rate). video Best for audio that originated from video or includes multiple speakers. Ideally the audio is recorded at a 16khz or greater sampling rate. This is a premium model that costs more than the standard rate. default Best for audio that is not one of the specific audio models. For example, long-form audio. Ideally the audio is high-fidelity, recorded at a 16khz or greater sampling rate. medical_conversation Best for audio that originated from a conversation between a medical provider and patient. medical_dictation Best for audio that originated from dictation notes by a medical provider.
use_enhanced	bool Set to true to use an enhanced model for speech recognition. If use_enhanced is set to true and the model field is not set, then an appropriate enhanced model is chosen if an enhanced model exists for the audio. If use_enhanced is true and an enhanced version of the specified model does not exist, then the speech is recognized using the standard version of the specified model.

Classes

AudioEncoding

AudioEncoding(value)

The encoding of the audio data sent in the request.

All encodings support only 1 channel (mono) audio, unless the audio_channel_count and enable_separate_recognition_per_channel fields are set.

For best results, the audio source should be captured and transmitted using a lossless encoding (FLAC or LINEAR16). The accuracy of the speech recognition can be reduced if lossy codecs are used to capture or transmit audio, particularly if background noise is present. Lossy codecs include MULAW, AMR, AMR_WB, OGG_OPUS, SPEEX_WITH_HEADER_BYTE, MP3, and WEBM_OPUS.

The FLAC and WAV audio file formats include a header that describes the included audio content. You can request recognition for WAV files that contain either LINEAR16 or MULAW encoded audio. If you send FLAC or WAV audio file format in your request, you do not need to specify an AudioEncoding; the audio encoding format is determined from the file header. If you specify an AudioEncoding when you send send FLAC or WAV audio, the encoding configuration must match the encoding described in the audio header; otherwise the request returns an google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT][google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT] error code.
