Android Microphone Streaming

Android demo application that streams audio from the microphone to deepspeech and transcribes it.

Prerequisites

Download model

Download the pre-trained English model and extract it:

curl -LO https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.9.3/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.tflite
curl -LO https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/releases/download/v0.9.3/deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer

Move the model files deepspeech-0.9.3-models.pbmm, deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer, to the demo application's data directory on your android device. Mind that the data directory will only be present after installing and launching the app once.

adb push deepspeech-0.9.3-models.tflite deepspeech-0.9.3-models.scorer /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.deepspeechdemo/files/

You can also copy the files from your file browser to the device.

Android device with USB Debugging

Connect an android device and make sure to enable USB-Debugging in the developer settings of the device. If haven't already, you can activate your developer settings by following this guide from android.

Installation

Command Line

cd android_mic_streaming
./gradlew installDebug

Android Studio

Open the android_mic_streaming directory in Android Studio.
Run the app and your connected android device.

Usage

Start recording by pressing the button and the app will transcribe the spoken text.

Fine-tuning the Recognition

Based on your use case or the language you are using you might change the values of BEAM_WIDTH, LM_ALPHA and LM_BETA to improve the speech recogintion.

You can also alter the NUM_BUFFER_ELEMENTS to change the size of the audio data buffer that is fed into the model.
