How to send the websocket request for real time automatic speech recognition? Google cloud speech is prone to high latency(>2s).

Question

Hi,

We have been heavily using google ASR and want to migrate to Azure speech recognition. Any guide would be appreciated.

Currently we are using: https://github.com/fonoster/fonoster/tree/main/mods/googleasr

We want to write package for @fonoster/azureasr.

It seems, most of the changes has to be made in https://github.com/fonoster/fonoster/blob/main/mods/googleasr/src/tracker.ts for sending websocket request to azure speech instead of google ASR.

Would appreciate the help. It would be even great if you could write the package itself :).

Best,

Nitish

Hello @Nitish Kumar , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

We appreciate your interest to migrate from Google ASR to Azure Speech Recognition.

For real-time transcription we support speech SDK and REST API. In this documentation you will learn how to recognize and transcribe speech to text in real time: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/how-to-recognize-speech?pivots=programming-language-javascript

Speech containers provide WebSocket-based query endpoint APIs that are accessed through the Speech SDK and Speech CLI. Ihttps://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/how-to-recognize-speech?pivots=programming-language-javascript#run-and-use-a-container

Additionally, this Github sample shows how to integrate the Azure Speech service into a sample React application; https://github.com/Azure-Samples/AzureSpeechReactSample

Here is a similar thread where customer found the above Github sample was helpful, try to check if this helps.

I hope this helps.
