Speech to text in Electron

Question

Is there a way I can record audio in electron? I would also like to find out if it is possible to use Google speech API to convert speech to text in electron

Answer 1

Is there a way I can record audio in electron?

Of course. Electron is based on Chromium and Node.js so you have access to:

• any APIs you can use in the browser (like the MediaStream Recording API)
• all Node.js features and libraries that work with Node.js (like node-audiorecorder)

I would also like to find out if it is possible to use Google speech API to convert speech to text in electron

Yes. There's an official Node.js package for the Google Cloud Speech API. Again, an Electron-specific solution is not needed in this case.
