Implementing Speech to Text Translation

Introduction

In this lesson, we’re going to explore the speech to text conversion using the Azure speech service. The Speech-to-Text—also referred to as STT—helps to generate real-time text transcriptions from audio data. We can provide the audio in a file format, from real-time streaming data, or directly from a microphone.

The model that is being used behind the scenes to convert the audio into text is the one Microsoft themselves is using in its Office products and Cortana. The model is capable of performing the speech to text translation in more than 100 languages. You can refer to the list from Microsoft’s Language Support Documentation.
