Whisper Speech-to-Text

Whisper Speech-to-Text is a JavaScript library that allows you to record audio from a user's microphone, and then transcribe the audio into text using OpenAI's Whisper ASR system. This library is designed to be used in web applications.

Features

• Real-time transcription of speech to text using OpenAI's Whisper ASR system.
• Easy to use API for starting, pausing, resuming, and stopping recordings.
• Automatic handling of microphone permissions and audio recording.

Installation

npm i whisper-speech-to-text

Usage

// Import the WhisperSTT class from the library
import { WhisperSTT } from "whisper-speech-to-text";

// Create a new instance of the WhisperSTT class, passing your OpenAI API key to the constructor
const whisper = new WhisperSTT("your-openai-api-key");

// Start recording audio
await whisper.startRecording();

// Pause the recording
await whisper.pauseRecording();

// Resume the recording
await whisper.resumeRecording();

// Stop the recording and get the transcription
await whisper.stopRecording((text) => {
  console.log("Transcription:", text);
});

API

The WhisperSTT class has the following methods:

• startRecording(): Starts recording audio from the user's microphone.
• pauseRecording(): Pauses the current recording.
• resumeRecording(): Resumes a paused recording.
• stopRecording(onFinish: (text: string) => void): Stops the current recording and transcribes the audio into text. The transcription is passed to the onFinish callback.
