Parse speech output to a JSON to call Application API

Question

Here is an idea:

We have web applications with exposed restful APIs which accepts json. Now how about using google speech APIs to take user voice input convert it to tex

Answer 1

This is called "intent analysis". There are such libraries, for example RASA

For example you input is "show me chinese restaurants". The output would be

{
  "text": "show me chinese restaurants",
  "intent": "restaurant_search",
  "entities": [
    {
      "start": 8,
      "end": 15,
      "value": "chinese",
      "entity": "cuisine"
    }
  ]
}

Overall it is pretty advanced NLU.

Answer 2

According to the Google Speech API the result set is already returned in JSON:

{
  "results": [
    {
      "alternatives": [
        {
          "transcript": "how old is the Brooklyn Bridge",
          "confidence": 0.98267895
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

All you would have to do is use JSON.parse and then select whatever you wanted out of the object to put into your specific json format.

I would suggest reading through the Google Speech Documentation
