Azure Cognitive Services- Speech To Text

Speech 服务是认知服务的一种，提供了语音转文本，文本转语音, 语音翻译等，今天咱们实战的是语音转文本（Speech To Text）。

STT支持两种访问方式，1.是SDK，2.是REST API。

其中:

SDK方式支持 识别麦克风的语音流 和 语音文件；

REST API方式仅支持语音文件；

准备工做：建立 认知服务之Speech服务：

建立完成后，两个重要的参数能够在页面查看：

一. REST API方式将语音文件转换成文本：

Azure global的 Speech API 终结点请参考：

https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/rest-speech-to-text#regions-and-endpoints

Azure 中国区 的 Speech API 终结点：

截至到2020.2月，仅中国东部2区域已开通Speech服务，服务终结点为：

https://chinaeast2.stt.speech.azure.cn/speech/recognition/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1

对于Speech To Text来讲，有两种身份验证方式：

其中Authorization  Token有效期为10分钟。

为了简便，本文使用了Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key的方式。

注意：若是要实现文本转语音，按照上表，则必须使用 Authorization Token形式进行身份验证。

构建请求的其余注意事项：

1. 文件格式：
   
   
   

2. 请求头：
   
   
   须要注意的是，Key或者Authorization是二选一的关系。
   

3. 请求参数：
   
   
   

在Postman中的示例以下：

若是要在REST API中使用 Authorization Token，则须要先得到Token：

Global 获取Token的终结点：

https://docs.microsoft.com/zh-cn/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/rest-speech-to-text#authentication

中国区获取Token的终结点：

截至2020.02，只有中国东部2有Speech服务，其Token终结点为：

https://chinaeast2.api.cognitive.azure.cn/sts/v1.0/issuetoken

Postman获取Token 参考以下：

二. SDK方式将语音文件转换成文本（Python示例）：

在官网能够看到相似的代码，但须要注意的是，该代码仅在Azure Global的Speech服务中正常工做，针对中国区，须要作特定的修改（见下文）。

import azure.cognitiveservices.speech as speechsdk # Creates an instance of a speech config with specified subscription key and service region. # Replace with your own subscription key and service region (e.g., "chinaeast2"). speech_key, service_region = "YourSubscriptionKey", "YourServiceRegion" speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(subscription=speech_key, region=service_region) # Creates an audio configuration that points to an audio file. # Replace with your own audio filename. audio_filename = "whatstheweatherlike.wav" audio_input = speechsdk.AudioConfig(filename=audio_filename) # Creates a recognizer with the given settings speech_recognizer = speechsdk.SpeechRecognizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_input) print("Recognizing first result...") # Starts speech recognition, and returns after a single utterance is recognized. The end of a # single utterance is determined by listening for silence at the end or until a maximum of 15 # seconds of audio is processed.  The task returns the recognition text as result. # Note: Since recognize_once() returns only a single utterance, it is suitable only for single # shot recognition like command or query. # For long-running multi-utterance recognition, use start_continuous_recognition() instead. result = speech_recognizer.recognize_once() # Checks result. if result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.RecognizedSpeech:    print("Recognized: {}".format(result.text)) elif result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.NoMatch:    print("No speech could be recognized: {}".format(result.no_match_details)) elif result.reason == speechsdk.ResultReason.Canceled:    cancellation_details = result.cancellation_details    print("Speech Recognition canceled: {}".format(cancellation_details.reason))    if cancellation_details.reason == speechsdk.CancellationReason.Error:        print("Error details: {}".format(cancellation_details.error_details))

针对中国区，须要使用自定义终结点的方式，才能正常使用SDK：

speech_key, service_region = "Your Key", "chinaeast2"
template = "wss://{}.stt.speech.azure.cn/speech/recognition" \
               "/conversation/cognitiveservices/v1?initialSilenceTimeoutMs={:d}&language=zh-CN"
speech_config = speechsdk.SpeechConfig(subscription=speech_key,
endpoint=template.format(service_region, int(initial_silence_timeout_ms)))

须要注意的是，若是咱们使用SDK识别麦克风中的语音，则将

speech_recognizer = speechsdk.SpeechRecognizer(speech_config=speech_config, audio_config=audio_config)

修改成以下便可（去掉audio_config参数）：

speech_recognizer = speechsdk.SpeechRecognizer(speech_config=speech_config)
