Re: speech_to_text python command not working

[Paul Moore]

With that information, my guess would be that the way the web service
reports errors has changed, and the Python library is failing to
handle errors nicely for you, but the basic functionality still works.
So that's somewhat good news, as you can at least handle anything that
*would* work, even if it's going to be hard to understand the reason
for failures without a friendly message like "File too big"...

Re: speech_to_text python command not working

[pizza python]

   Hi all. I tried the same command with a different, smaller file. This file
   is a 90-kilobyte ogg file. The other one was a 26-megabyte ogg file.

   Wtih this smaller file, there was no error.


speech_to_text -u myUsername -p myPassword -f html -i audio-file.ogg
   transcript.html
   Starting Upload.
   
[===]
   100%
   Upload finished. Waiting for Transcript
   Speech > Text finished.


   In the same folder as the ogg file was an html file with the transcript.
   So I guess the python command works some times. I'm still not sure if it
   just doesn't work on large files.

 So it's pretty likely you need a new version of the "speech-to-text"
 library.


   Hi, Paul. Thanks for your reply. Appreciate it a lot.

   I've informed the developer of this issue on both his blog and his github.
   Hope he can update his "speech-to-text" library to make it work with IBM
   Watson. It was so good when it was working that the lead of the "developer
   advocacy team" at IBM Watson reached out to him!

   Thanks for your sound advice. As I'm already quite overwhelmed with this
   error as it is, I'll recognize my current limitations and seek help from
   the more experienced.  Thanks

Re: speech_to_text python command not working

[pizza python]

 Speech to text conversion is not a pure Python solution. It must be
 based
 on some kind of "external service". From the details you have provided,
 it looks like some web service.


   Yes, you are right. It's based on IBM Watson's web/cloud service.

 Your error occurs because what the "external service" has delivered
 it not what "speech-to-text" has expected. More precisely,
 "speech-to-text" has excepted as result a dict with a "results" key --
 but this is missing (likely because some input is wrong or there
 is a version mismatch between your "speech-to-text" and the "external
 service").


   Someone else also thought there is a version mismatch between the
   "speech-to-text" and the "external service". The external service has been
   update four times since the "speech-to-text" library was put together.


 I expect that the "data" mentioned in the traceback above contains
 some clues for what went wrong. I would use the Python debugger
 to investigate along these lines. As you are not yourself a Python

speech_to_text python command not working

[pizza python]

   Hello all.


   I'm on Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon 64-bit.

   I am trying to get IBM Watson BlueMix Speech-To-Text to transcribe my
   spoken-word audio files. Because I'm not a coder, I tried to find the
   simplest way to use BlueMix Speech-to-Text. And what I found
   is [1]https://github.com/rmotr/speech-to-text

   It's in PyPi Libary: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speech-to-text/0.0.1

 Step 1: "pip install speech-to-text". I ran it with sudo to make it work.




 Step 2: I then ran: speech_to_text -u myUserNameGoesHere -p myPasswordGoesHere
 -f html -i voice2.ogg transcript.html Starting Upload.

You can do it easily by adding the Python path (in my case C:\Python27) to your 
system PATH.

Simply go to Control Panel  System  Advanced system settings, select 
'Advanced' tab, click 'Environment Variables'.

There you need to add the path to Python (C:\Python27) to the Path BOTH:
- User variables
and
- System variables
For each one click 'Edit' and paste the path (C:\Python27) at the end of the 
line with a ';' to separate it

Restart your shell window and it should work!

  Christian,
  at last i made the bat file (python25.bat) that contains the following

  could you tell me how to call python25 in the batch files? what batch
  files do you mean? where do i find them?

 Your original question was how to get an interactive interpreter from a
 command prompt.  There are at least 3 ways:

 1) just specify the full path to the executable on the command line
      e:\mysource\  c:\python25\python.exe

 2) add c:\python25  to your PATH, either by using the SET statement, or
 control panel.
      then you'll be able to just use:
      e:\mysource\  python

 3) create a batch file in a directory on your PATH

 #3 is probably the best way.  You've created that batch file, now just
 use it.
     e:\mysource\  python25

 The remark about using call python25 refers only to the case where you
 write additional batch files that use this one.  Since you're not likely
 to, don't worry about it yet.

 If typing python25 in a command box doesn't work, then you don't have
 that file on the PATH.  If that's the case, tell us exactly where the
 file is.

Thanks a million, it worked. :D

The Python interpreter and libraries, like any other application, needs
to be installed into your system before you can start using it properly.
If you only downloaded it, then it's just bits in a file, nothing more.

Well you can do by selecting [System] from the Control Panel,
selecting the [Advanced] tab, the [Environment Variables]
button and then finding the PATH (user or system) and editing
it in the agonisingly small edit control which doesn't seem
to have changed since Windows 3.1. (He says, exaggerating only
a little)...

... or, I was going to say, you could run Christian Heimes'
win_add2path.py script which is in c:\python26\lib\tools.
Except that it wasn't added until python26 and uses
_winreg.ExpandEnvironmentStrings which also wasn't added
until then. (I think). But for anyone else still watching

   Hi guys,

   I'm new to python, i downloaded version 2.5, opened windows (vista)
   command line and wrote python, this should take me to the python

   command, external command, program, or command file.

   The installer does not add the path of python into your %PATH%
   variable, You have to do it manually or call the full command path

  I highly recommend against adding C:\Python25 to your %PATH%. You can

  @C:\Python25\python.exe %*

  Call it python25.bat and you are done. Apropos call, don't forget to
  call python25 in batch files. :)

 THIS IS REALLY KILLING ME!!!

I am curious, what's the difference ?

And does this work if you want to add it to your user PATH (not the
system one) ?

My way doesn't add the dlls to the search path. It allows you to have
multiple python commands at once, too. I have shortcuts for python24,
python25 and python26 on my Windows box.

Ah, thanks, that's really useful. I need this too, and did it the
unix way, which did not work so well for various reasons. This is
much better,

Excuse me guys, could you please help me and tell me step by step how
to make the bat file that Christian is talking about and save it in
the System32?

I'm trying to save anything there but it's not working, though i'm the
administrator, vista keeps telling me that i can't save anything to
the system32 folder and that i have to contact my admin. in order to
fix it!

thanks for the help.
cheers,
Lina

Christian,
at last i made the bat file (python25.bat) that contains the following
contents:

---
@C:\Python25\python.exe %*
---

could you tell me how to call python25 in the batch files? what batch
files do you mean? where do i find them?

python25.bat or python25.cmd are acceptable names for that file.

Assuming you have a command window, if you enter the command,
C:\WhereEver echo %path%
you will see a semicolon-separated list of directories.  Put the
file in any of the directories on that list.  You should then be
able to use the command:
C:\WhereEver python25 whatever

Personally, I would use the name python25.cmd, but that may just be
superstition on my part about the difference between .bat and .cmd
files.

Your original question was how to get an interactive interpreter from a 
command prompt.  There are at least 3 ways:


1) just specify the full path to the executable on the command line
e:\mysource\  c:\python25\python.exe

2) add c:\python25  to your PATH, either by using the SET statement, or 
control panel.

then you'll be able to just use:
e:\mysource\  python

3) create a batch file in a directory on your PATH

#3 is probably the best way.  You've created that batch file, now just 
use it.

   e:\mysource\  python25

The remark about using call python25 refers only to the case where you 
write additional batch files that use this one.  Since you're not likely 
to, don't worry about it yet.



If typing python25 in a command box doesn't work, then you don't have 
that file on the PATH.  If that's the case, tell us exactly where the 
file is.
