Watson speech to text












0














I am looking for example code on how to call Watson's speech to text function from node.js while using the Twilio platform.



I've been able to utilize the add-on settings in Twilio to call back to my own function when using dial verbs and recording verbs. That said, this seems to be an all-or-nothing proposition; meaning that ALL dial verbs recordings are transcribed.



While functional, I have several use cases where I record but do not want to transcribe. As far as I can tell, the best methodology would be to call Watson on an ad-hoc basis from within code as opposed to all the time as defined by settings.



Does documentation exist somewhere that demonstrates how to call Watson speech-to-text given a specified url that contains the recording (RecordingURL)?

I believe there is an undocumented feature in the Speech to Text API that allows you to pass in an audio_url parameter, which should perform the task you are looking for.



Unfortunately, the Watson Node SDK does not yet support that parameter, so you will need to create your own request using a package like request or axios.
