dictate.js
==========

__dictate.js__ is a small Javascript library for browser-based real-time speech recognition.
It uses [Recorderjs](https://github.com/mattdiamond/Recorderjs) for audio capture,
and a WebSocket connection to the
[Kaldi GStreamer server](https://github.com/alumae/kaldi-gstreamer-server) for speech recognition.

API
---

The API is modeled after [Android's SpeechRecognizer](http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer.html).
See the source code of [lib/dictate.js](lib/dictate.js) and
the usage in [demos/demo.js](demos/demo.js).

Running the demos
-----------------

The demos connect to the public services running on `wss://bark.phon.ioc.ee`
that offer Estonian and English speech recognition.

The demos are available [here](https://kaljurand.github.io/dictate.js/).
(Note that in order to use a wss-service the HTML-pages must be loaded over https.)

To run the demos on localhost, start a local HTTP server, e.g.:

    # Python 2
    python -m SimpleHTTPServer

    # Python 3
    python -m http.server

and then open e.g. <http://localhost:8000/demos/mob.html>.

Known to work in:

- Google Chrome 72.0 on Ubuntu 18.04
- Mozilla Firefox 68.0.2 on Ubuntu 18.04
