Cloud Speech-to-Text API C++ Client Library

This directory contains an idiomatic C++ client library for the Cloud Speech-to-Text API, a service which converts audio to text by applying powerful neural network models.

While this library is GA, please note that the Google Cloud C++ client libraries do not follow Semantic Versioning.

Quickstart

The quickstart/ directory contains a minimal environment to get started using this client library in a larger project. The following “Hello World” program is used in this quickstart, and should give you a taste of this library.

For detailed instructions on how to build and install this library, see the top-level README.

#include "google/cloud/speech/v2/speech_client.h"
#include "google/cloud/project.h"
#include <iostream>

// Configure a simple recognizer for en-US.
void ConfigureRecognizer(google::cloud::speech::v2::RecognizeRequest& request) {
  *request.mutable_config()->add_language_codes() = "en-US";
  request.mutable_config()->set_model("short");
  *request.mutable_config()->mutable_auto_decoding_config() = {};
}
