利用Google Speech API实现Speech To Text

很久很久以前, 网上流传着一个免费的,识别率暴高的,稳定的 Speech To Text API, 那就是Google Speech API. 但是最近再使用的时候,总是返回500 Error. 后来通过查看源码知道需要增加一个参数:key=.... 可能是为了防止滥用吧. 并且, 最近Chrome另外发布了一个长连接实时的识别接口, 这对开发者来说真是巨大的福音啊. 在这里主要对这两个接口的用法进行介绍.

申请Chromium API keys

本文使用的Google Speech API是为google自家的浏览器Chrome服务的. 可以通过这个Demo体验一下实际使用的效果: Google Speech To Text Demo.
Chrome来源于开源项目Chromium. 为了方便开发者调试使用, google 开放了这个STT(Speech to Text)接口. 但是, 因为这个借口只供调试使用, 所以在流量和次数上都有限制.并且, 不提供购买.

好了, 背景介绍完毕, 我们来第一步: 申请Chromium开发者权限.
具体步骤请参考how to get chromium API keys).
