Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Speech To Text

A speech recognition module to convert speech into text.

Install

npm install speech-to-text

Typical Usage

Here is the module being used in a React component

  componentDidMount() {
    const onAnythingSaid = text => {
      this.setState({ interimText: text });
    };

    const onEndEvent = () => {
      if (this.state.listening) {
        this.startListening();
      }
    };

    const onFinalised = text => {
      this.setState({
        finalisedText: [text, ...this.state.finalisedText],
        interimText: ''
      });
    };

    try {
      this.listener = new SpeechToText(onFinalised, onEndEvent, onAnythingSaid);
    } catch (error) {
      this.setState({ error: error.message });
    }
  }

Above demo here.

API

The constructor

  • onFinalised - a callback that will be passed the finalised transcription from the cloud. Slow, but accuate.
  • onEndEvent - a callback that will be called when the end event is fired (speech recognition engine disconnects).
  • onAnythingSaid - (optional) a callback that will be passed interim transcriptions. Fairly immediate, but less accurate than finalised text.
  • language - (optional) the language to interpret against. Default is US English, and the supported languages are listed here.

The constructor will throw an error if speech recognition is not supported by the browser. Currently only Chrome is supported.

if (!('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window)) {
  throw new Error("This browser doesn't support speech recognition. Try Google Chrome.");
}

startListening

Initiates listening to speech input.

stopListening

Does just that. Stops listening.
