Official AssemblyAI sample project using WebRTC for real-time speech-to-text from the browser

AssemblyAI Sample WebRTC Project

This sample project uses the AssemblyAI WebRTC wrapper to stream audio from the browser to the AssemblyAI API for near real-time speech-to-text.

Only tested in Chrome and Firefox.

Getting started

1. Clone this repo

2. Fill in your API Token on line 2 in js/demo.js

   const API_TOKEN = "your-secret-api-token";
   

3. Stand up a simple HTTP Server to serve the static files in this repo

   # This will start a static server on http://localhost:8000.
   # This server is insecure, and should only be used for demos
   # and testing.
   python -m SimpleHTTPServer
   

4. Go to http://localhost:8000 to visit your local server. Click "Allow" when the browser asks for permission to use your microphone.

Note: WebRTC requires your website to be served on localhost or over SSL in order to access the microphone.

1. Click the red "RECORD" button and start talking!
