# DeepSpeech Demo
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
## About
|
||
|
||
This is a simple web-interface and Node server that uses [DeepSpeech](https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech) to create a local Speech-to-Text service.
|
||
|
||
I mostly built it for myself, in order to play around with DeepSpeech, but it can be used
|
||
as a starting point for your own experiments.
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
The demo relies on [SoX](http://sox.sourceforge.net/) being available
|
||
on your system and in your PATH.
|
||
|
||
A quick seach for `how to install SoX on (windows|ubuntu|mac)` should do the trick
|
||
for you if you don't know how to install it, at least it did for me.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
First, clone the repository:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git clone git@github.com:asciidisco/deepspeech-demo.git
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then change into the directory & perform an npm install:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm install
|
||
````
|
||
|
||
As this downloads the pre-trained models from the DeepSpeech releases as a postinstall step,
|
||
which are roughly 1.4 GB, it might take a while.
|
||
|
||
After that, start the server using:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
npm start
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
And navigate to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
The user interface is quite reduced, after you´ve agreed that the page is allowed
|
||
to use your microphone, you just need to hit the "Listen" button and speak a few words
|
||
into your microphone. After you finished your sentence, you need to hit the "Listening..."
|
||
button once again, so that the recorded sound can be processed.
|
||
After a few seconds, you should see the text in the result box below the button.
