This is a basic demo to show how to use Cheetah for web browsers, using the IIFE version of the library (i.e. an HTML script tag). It instantiates a Cheetah worker engine and uses it with the @picovoice/web-voice-processor to access (and automatically downsample) microphone audio.
Cheetah requires a valid Picovoice AccessKey
at initialization. AccessKey
acts as your credentials when using Cheetah SDKs.
You can get your AccessKey
for free. Make sure to keep your AccessKey
secret.
Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey
.
Use yarn
or npm
to install the dependencies, and the start
script with a language code
to start a local web server hosting the demo in the language of your choice (e.g. sv
-> Swedish, zh
-> Mandarin).
To see a list of available languages, run start
without a language code.
yarn
yarn start ${LANGUAGE}
(or)
npm install
npm run start ${LANGUAGE}
Open localhost:5000
in your web browser, as hinted at in the output:
Available on:
http://localhost:5000
Hit CTRL-C to stop the server
Wait until Cheetah and the WebVoiceProcessor have initialized. Choose an audio file or record audio to transcribe.
