Google speech API internal server error -83104

Question

I am newly touching Google speech API and trying to make the official Node.js demo work.

But when I using a .flac file (record from my phone and converted) to test the demo, I got this error from Google speech API server:

Got audio file!
Analyzing speech...

  code: 409,
  errors: 
   [ { message: 'Aborted: internal server error -83104',
       domain: 'global',
       reason: 'aborted' } ] }

And neither the audio file is uploaded to Google cloud storage as a gs:// prefixed URI nor base64 string content works in PostMan/curl. Always get internal server error -83104.

I don't know what the meaning this error code stand for, anyone could help?

Answer 1

Finally I found in the official trouble-shooting page it says only support for 1 channel flac file. but the file I was using is 2 channels record from my phone.

After convert the 2 channels audio file to 1 channel, it works fine.

If you want to know how to convert to mono channel, here is the solution, with sample Node.js: https://mcmap.net/q/1665684/-google-cloud-speech-syncrecognize-quot-invalid_argument-quot – Kaczmarek
