Recall.ai - Meeting Transcription API ------------------------------------- If you’re working with speech detection or transcription for meetings, consider checking out `Recall.ai `__, an API that works with Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and more. Recall.ai diarizes by pulling the speaker data and separate audio streams from the meeting platforms, which means 100% accurate speaker diarization with actual speaker names and speaker emails. Getting Started --------------- Speech recognition engine/API support: * `CMU Sphinx `__ (works offline) * Google Speech Recognition * `Google Cloud Speech API `__ * `Wit.ai `__ * `Microsoft Azure Speech `__ * `Houndify API `__ * `IBM Speech to Text `__ * `Snowboy Hotword Detection `__ (works offline) * `Tensorflow `__ * `Vosk API `__ (works offline) * `OpenAI whisper `__ (works offline) * `OpenAI Whisper API `__ * OpenAI compatible self-hosted endpoints (e.g. vLLM, Ollama) * `Groq Whisper API `__ * `Cohere Transcribe API `__ **Quickstart:** ``pip install SpeechRecognition``. See the "Installing" section for more details. To quickly try it out, run ``python -m speech_recognition`` after installing.
