Google Cloud Speech API: Real Time recognition via REST

Question

I am interested in performing real time speech to text using Google cloud speech API. I saw in the documentation that is possible to do real time speech to text when it comes to gRPC API

However I can't see anything about real time processing in REST API, that means it is not possible to do the real time speech to text in REST?

FYI I am trying to implement this to my android application.

Answer 1

This was asked recently in the discussion group.

Unfortunately the answer was no and there was no schedule for it to be implemented. I already added my '+1' to the discussion, as it's something I need.

If you want to attempt gRPC in the mean time, check out this thread, which has some links to example code, that leads to other samples.
