Recognize Audio Input as Text with Machine Learning in C#

Transposing audio uses up a lot of time that we usually don’t have. With the /speech/recognize/file iteration of the Cloudmersive Speech API, you can easily turn audio into text, and incorporate that function into your C# application using ready-to-run code from the Cloudmersive API Console.

To start off, install the .NET Framework SDK using the below command:

Install-Package Cloudmersive.APIClient.NET.Speech -Version 4.0.1

Next, copy in the callback function. Under public void main (), you’ll need to provide your Cloudmersive API key — if you don’t already have one, you can easily make a free account on the Cloudmersive website & receive a key (good for 800 monthly API calls).

        {
            // Configure API key authorization: Apikey
            Configuration.Default.AddApiKey("Apikey", "YOUR_API_KEY");
var apiInstance = new RecognizeApi();
            var speechFile = new System.IO.FileStream("C:\\temp\\inputfile", System.IO.FileMode.Open); // System.IO.Stream | Speech file to perform the operation on.  Common file formats such as WAV, MP3 are supported.
try
            {
                // Recognize audio input as text using machine learning
                SpeechRecognitionResult result = apiInstance.RecognizeFile(speechFile);
                Debug.WriteLine(result);
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Debug.Print("Exception when calling RecognizeApi.RecognizeFile: " + e.Message );
            }
        }
    }
