Quick Start
Setup
Install .NET.
Install the Leopard NuGet package in Visual Studio or using the .NET CLI:
dotnet add package Leopard
Usage
Create an instance of the engine:
using Pv;const string accessKey = "${ACCESS_KEY}";Leopard leopard = Leopard.Create(accessKey);
Transcribe an audio file by providing an absolute path to the file:
string transcript = leopard.ProcessFile("${AUDIO_FILE_PATH}");
Transcribe raw audio data (sample rate of 16 kHz, 16-bit linearly encoded and 1 channel):
short[] GetAudioData(){// ...}string transcript = leopard.Process(GetAudioData());
Demo
For the Leopard .NET SDK, we offer demo applications that demonstrate how to use the Speech-to-Text engine on audio files.
Setup
- Clone the Leopard repository from GitHub:
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Picovoice/leopard.git

cd leopard/demo/dotnet/Leoparddotnet build -c FileDemo.Release
