Captain’s log voice and transcription

[Famunkwriter]

Have an idea for a project and am trying to find out if this is even possible.

What i want to do is use a Raspberry Pi to record a voice memo by pushing a button or flicking a switch. The maximum recording time would be around 5-10 minutes. The recording would stop when the button is pushed again, and the file would then be transcribed and saved in a text file with the current date and timestamp as the filename to a folder on a specified hard drive.

Ive read that the transcription bit will typically require an internet connection but thought I’d see if the idea is even achievable without it.

Thanks for your help!

Only https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech caught my eye..

..can it run on a Pi ?

DeepSpeech v0.6 with TensorFlow Lite runs faster than real time on a single core of a Raspberry Pi 4.

To record in a file (a.wav) using a USB microphone:

Code: Select all

arecord -D sysdefault:CARD=1 -d 10 -f cd -t wav a.wav
