speechly-browser-client

This repository contains source code for the browser client for Speechly SLU API.

NOTE: If you are using React, you can use React client instead.

Usage

Install the package:

# Using Yarn
yarn add @speechly/browser-client

# Using NPM
npm install --save @speechly/browser-client

Start using the client:

import { Client, Segment } from '@speechly/browser-client'

// Create a new Client. appId is configured in the dashboard.
const client = new Client({appId: 'your-app-id'})

// Initialize the client - this will ask the user for microphone permissions and establish the connection to Speechly API.
// Make sure you call `initlialize` from a user action handler (e.g. from a button press handler).
await client.initialize()

// React to the updates from the API.
client.onSegmentChange((segment: Segment) => {
  console.log('Received new segment from the API:', segment.intent, segment.entities, segment.words, segment.isFinal)
})

// Start recording.
// Ideally this should be bound to e.g. a button press.
await client.startContext()

// Stop recording after a timeout.
// Ideally this should be bound to e.g. a button press.
setTimeout(async function() {
  await client.stopContext()
}, 3000)

Check out the browser-client-example repository for a demo app built using this client.
