How to translate live streaming using google speech api?

Question

This is the Google Speech API docs: https://cloud.google.com/speech/docs/sync-recognize

I trried this API for 2 weeks, but still can't solve my main purpose (translate live streaming).

I'm using PHP. (other language suggestion is allowed, I will find by myself)

What I can do in my 2 weeks:

1. Synchronous Speech Recognition (<=1min)

2. Asynchronous Speech Recognition (>1min and <=80min). Note: i can modify this to accept 3hours video.

3. Live speech recognition from mic : https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html

4. UPDATE: Perform streaming API with audio less than 6sec duration.

What can't I do is:

1. How to translate live streaming. ex: radio streaming (delay is allowed)

2. How to Translate when video/audio playing. (delay is allowed)

UPDATE:

I also ask the question on google github too. but since no answer, i ask here.

Summary:

I can perform speech streaming but only with 6 second audio. This is not like what i expected. My expectation is to recognize unlimited duration (seems we dont know when radio streaming will end).

Thank for any help. i very appreciate it

UPDATE:

To approve that I can't use video longer than 6sec. so i write this:

I try this video interview.mp4 and convert it with ffmpeg to interview.flac using this ffmpeg -i interview.mp4 -c:a flac -ar 16000 -ac 1 -sample_fmt s16 interview.flac.

i use this library to transcribe the video using this command:

php speech.php transcribe --encoding FLAC --language-code en-US --sample-rate 16000 --stream interview.flac

and the result is:

  [Google\GAX\ApiException]
  Invalid 'audio_content': too long.

it cant be too long, because the video duration is only 48 sec. this is the meta from ffmpeg result:

Output #0, flac, to 'interview.flac':

You need to use the StreamingRecognize API call. You can find an example of doing that in PHP here.

thank you blambert, i upvoted your help. but, please looks my update.. i have miss information before. sorry. – Koestler

i just dont know how to implemented that in real streaming. i just know how to send 6second audio to speech streaming api – Koestler

The streaming API has a 60 second limit, not 6, so you should be able to stream up to 60 seconds of audio. Are you getting an error message after 6 seconds? – Esque

look my update. can u try my file bro? i give up. no clue >< – Koestler
