Speech-to-text from a LIVE stream [closed]

Question

I have a Java application and I want to transcribe, not a file, but a LIVE stream(rtmp:// or m3u8) that is being served by Wowza.

Is that possible?

Thank you

PS: I'm willing to pay any of those cloud services that offer audio transcription, but the ones I've seen don't seem to have this functionality.

Answer 1

There are a few options!

Google has one that is in beta, but seems very promising! Their documentation is a little light at this point but here is a good github example. https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/tree/master/speech

and their documention on it:

https://cloud.google.com/java/

The other option is IBM's Bluemix: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/text-to-speech-java

Best of luck! If you end up trying out both I would love to have an update on which one you felt worked best!

EDIT Another useful link: Stream audio from mic to IBM Watson SpeechToText Web service using Java SDK while it doesn't interface with Wowza, this might be a good place to start for IBM.
