Microsoft Bing Speech API client in node.js

Hi 👋 I love building things that work

Ping me if you need help building something that makes the world a better place.

bingspeech-api-client's Issues

Missing dependency: debug

See src/client.js: you haven't declared it as a dependency in package.json though. Worked around by requiring in my own package for now.

Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check

Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Add support for the Saudi Arabian dialect

Needed this for a project recently, and ended up making a fork from this repo and adding it myself, but would be great if support for the Saudi Arabian dialect was added back into this project.

Issue with `import`

To get the example code working I had to change the first line to:

const { BingSpeechClient, VoiceRecognitionResponse } = require('bingspeech-api-client');

I think at present node does not support import. As mentioned on MDN

Note: This feature[import] is only beginning to be implemented in browsers natively at this time. It is implemented in many transpilers, such as the Traceur Compiler, Babel, Rollup or Webpack.

Unable to assign fs.ReadStream to NodeJS.ReadWriteStream

As per the README,

I created a new ReadStream by

let audioStream = fs.createReadStream(myFileName);

then in

let client = new BingSpeechClient(subscriptionKey);
client.recognizeStream(audioStream).then(response => console.log(response.results[0].name));

recognizeStream method, the type expected is NodeJS.ReadWriteStream but audioStream is fs.ReadStream, though I found that NodeJS.ReadWriteStream extends both ReadableStream and WriteableStream, but still I am getting error in Typescript transpiler.

 TS2345: Argument of type 'ReadStream' is not assignable to parameter of type 'ReadWriteStream'.
  Types of property 'setEncoding' are incompatible.
    Type '(encoding: string) => ReadStream' is not assignable to type '(encoding: string) => ReadWriteStream'.
      Type 'ReadStream' is not assignable to type 'ReadWriteStream'.

Can you suggest what can I do?

Module is not able to do Speech to text conversion - (STT ) Conversion - Returning 404 response with invalid token

After much debugging I found out this is because of missing 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key'.

Response in node.js 👍

(node:80377) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: Voice recognition failed miserably: Wrong status code 404 in Bing Speech API / token

For some reason this is not getting set even after an object was creating by passing the 'MICROSOFT_BING_SPEECH_KEY'

Remove noise (static) from synthesised audio

The synthesized audio has a lot of static in the playback. It is reported by other users of the bing speech api so it seems to be an issue with the Microsoft service itself.

Return a stream to support pipes

The synthesize function should return a stream. This way a client could pipe the result without waiting to receive and store the audio in memory.

How to play received audio stream?

I am using following function,

import { BingSpeechClient, VoiceVoiceSynthesisResponse } from 'bingspeech-api-client';

// Bing Speech Key (https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/subscriptions)
let subscriptionKey = 'your_private_subscription_key';

let client = new BingSpeechClient(subscriptionKey);
client.synthesizeStream('I have a dream').then(audioStream => /* ... */);

I am receiving data on the readable event and getting buffer data. Can anyone let me know, how can I play that audio?

Support multiple locales and voice fonts

The synthesis function only supports an "en-us" voice. More locales and voices should be added. See speech api docs for more info.

streaming with microphone: nothing happens ?

i am having problems making the streaming work ...

• for STT streaming example i get no response and no timeout (i give it node-record-lpcm16 stream )
• for TTS streaming example i get the response, but piping the stream to speaker just gives me a short noise sound ( i set the output format to 16bit 16khz mono pcm and used nodejs Speaker )

buffer examples seem to work ok

Add support to change the output file format from synthesizeStream.

Being able to select the audio output format would be nice. or at least default it to .wav (riff-16khz-16bit-mono-pcm)

Add sockets support?

Hey @palmerabollo,
Have you thought about adding support for socket connection in the underlying implantation?

Not sure where to start but I'd be happy to help with that!

Advantages are that it raises the audio duration limit from 15 seconds for REST API to 10 minutes for socket, for the Bing STT service, according Microsoft documentation.

Let me know if this is on your roadmap.

Add support to pt-BR female

Bing Speech now supports female pt-BR voices. I'll open this issue and submit a PR to associate, that implements this.
