Google Updates Its Cloud Speech API With Support For More Languages, Word-level by TeenEnter10ment(m): 9:07am On Aug 14, 2017 |
Google’s Cloud Speech API, which has allowed developers to use Google’s services to transcribe spoken words into text since its launch in 2016, is getting a major update today. The most interesting of these is probably the addition of support for 30 new languages on top of the 89 languages the service already understood (though, to be fair, Google includes multiple regional variants of English, Spanish and Arabic in its total count). These new languages include the likes of Bengali, Latvian and Swahili and, according to Google, cover about a billion speakers. On top of this, Google also introduced a few new core features to the service. Among these is support for word-level timestamps. The idea here is to tag every word with its timestamp so that developers can, for example, easily allow their users to hear who a given word sounded like. That’s especially interesting for human-augmented transcription and translation services that use this API to speed up their workflows.
