Node js offline speech to text

Question

I want to create a robot with Node.js and Tessel.io, i bought the audio module and i'm wondering if it exist any speech to text or audio to text package for node js or something else.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you

Answer 1

There is a node module for CMUSphinx

https://github.com/cmusphinx/node-pocketsphinx

It works offline. It's a bit initial state but let me know if you have questions on it.

Answer 2

This issue is a bit stale, so I thought I'd add a more up-to-date answer:

CMUSphinx is great if you have something powerful enough to run it, but if you are on an embedded device like the Pi or the CHIP it can be quite slow.

One alternative is Sonus which has offline hotword detection and then uses Google Cloud Speech for streaming results.
