Class RecognizeStream

pipe()-able Node.js Readable/Writeable stream - accepts binary audio and emits text in its data events. Also emits results events with interim results and other data.

Cannot be instantiated directly, instead created by calling #recognizeUsingWebSocket()

Uses WebSockets under the hood. For audio with no recognizable speech, no data events are emitted.

  • pipe()-able Node.js Duplex stream - accepts binary audio and emits text/objects in it's data events. pipe()-able Node.js Duplex stream - accepts binary audio and emits text/objects in it's data events.

    Uses WebSockets under the hood. For audio with no recognizable speech, no data events are emitted.

    By default, only finalized text is emitted in the data events, however when objectMode/readableObjectMode and interim_results are enabled, both interim and final results objects are emitted. WriteableElementStream uses this, for example, to live-update the DOM with word-by-word transcriptions.

    Note that the WebSocket connection is not established until the first chunk of data is recieved. This allows for auto-detection of content type (for wav/flac/opus audio).
