Cheetah Speech-to-Text
Python Quick Start


Platforms

  • Linux (x86_64)
  • macOS (x86_64, arm64)
  • Windows (x86_64)
  • NVIDIA Jetson Nano
  • Raspberry Pi (3, 4)

Requirements

  • PIP

Picovoice Account & AccessKey

Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret.

Quick Start

Setup

  1. Install Python 3.

  2. Install the pvcheetah Python package using PIP:

pip3 install pvcheetah

Usage

Create an instance of the engine and transcribe audio:

import pvcheetah
cheetah = pvcheetah.create(access_key='${ACCESS_KEY}')
def get_next_audio_frame():
pass
while True:
partial_transcript, is_endpoint = cheetah.process(get_next_audio_frame())
if is_endpoint:
final_transcript = cheetah.flush()

Free resources used by Cheetah:

cheetah.delete();

Demo

For the Cheetah Python SDK, we offer demo applications that demonstrate how to use the Speech-to-Text engine on real-time audio streams (i.e. microphone input).

Setup

Install the pvcheetahdemo Python package using PIP:

pip3 install pvcheetahdemo

This package installs command-line utilities for the Cheetah Python demos.

Usage

Use the --help flag to see the usage options for the demo:

cheetah_demo_mic --help

Run the following command to transcribe an audio file:

cheetah_demo_mic --access_key ${ACCESS_KEY}
