• View example application
• API reference

Install

Using npm:

npm install @speechly/react-client

Using yarn:

yarn add @speechly/react-client

Usage

Wrap your app with the SpeechProvider context provider:

import { SpeechProvider } from '@speechly/react-client';

// Get your App ID from Speechly Dashboard (https://api.speechly.com/dashboard/)
// or by using Speechly CLI `list` command.

<SpeechProvider
  appId="YOUR-APP-ID"
  debug
  logSegments
>
  <App />
</SpeechProvider>

Capture browser microphone audio:

import { useSpeechContext } from '@speechly/react-client';

function App() {
  const { listening, segment, attachMicrophone, start, stop } = useSpeechContext();

  // Make sure that you call `attachMicrophone` from a user initiated
  // action handler, like a button press.

  const handleClick = async () => {
    if (listening) {
      await stop();
    } else {
      await attachMicrophone();
      await start();
    }
  };

  return (
    <button onClick={handleClick}>
      Start/stop microphone
    </button>
  );
}

React to API updates:

// Use `segment.isFinal` to check the segment state. When `false`,the segment might
// be updated several times. When `true`, the segment won’t be updated anymore and 
// subsequent callbacks within the same audio context refer to the next segment.

useEffect(() => {
  if (segment) {
    console.log('Tentative segment:', segment)
    if (segment.isFinal) {
      console.log('Final segment:', segment)
    }
  }
}, [segment]);
