Method Details

longrunningrecognize(body, x__xgafv=None)
Performs asynchronous speech recognition: receive results via the
google.longrunning.Operations interface. Returns either an
`Operation.error` or an `Operation.response` which contains
a `LongRunningRecognizeResponse` message.

Args:
  body: object, The request body. (required)
    The object takes the form of:

{ # The top-level message sent by the client for the `LongRunningRecognize`
      # method.
    "audio": { # Contains audio data in the encoding specified in the `RecognitionConfig`. # *Required* The audio data to be recognized.
        # Either `content` or `uri` must be supplied. Supplying both or neither
        # returns google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT. See
        # [audio limits](https://cloud.google.com/speech/limits#content).
      "content": "A String", # The audio data bytes encoded as specified in
          # `RecognitionConfig`. Note: as with all bytes fields, protobuffers use a
          # pure binary representation, whereas JSON representations use base64.
      "uri": "A String", # URI that points to a file that contains audio data bytes as specified in
          # `RecognitionConfig`. Currently, only Google Cloud Storage URIs are
          # supported, which must be specified in the following format:
          # `gs://bucket_name/object_name` (other URI formats return
          # google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT). For more information, see
          # [Request URIs](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/reference-uris).

          # [BCP-47](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt) language tag.
          # Example: "en-US".

      "encoding": "A String", # *Required* Encoding of audio data sent in all `RecognitionAudio` messages.
      "maxAlternatives": 42, # *Optional* Maximum number of recognition hypotheses to be returned.
          # Specifically, the maximum number of `SpeechRecognitionAlternative` messages
          # within each `SpeechRecognitionResult`.
          # The server may return fewer than `max_alternatives`.
          # Valid values are `0`-`30`. A value of `0` or `1` will return a maximum of
          # one. If omitted, will return a maximum of one.
      "sampleRateHertz": 42, # *Required* Sample rate in Hertz of the audio data sent in all
          # `RecognitionAudio` messages. Valid values are: 8000-48000.
          # 16000 is optimal. For best results, set the sampling rate of the audio
          # source to 16000 Hz. If that's not possible, use the native sample rate of
          # the audio source (instead of re-sampling).
      "profanityFilter": True or False, # *Optional* If set to `true`, the server will attempt to filter out
          # profanities, replacing all but the initial character in each filtered word
          # with asterisks, e.g. "f***". If set to `false` or omitted, profanities
          # won't be filtered out.
      "speechContexts": [ # *Optional* A means to provide context to assist the speech recognition.
        { # Provides "hints" to the speech recognizer to favor specific words and phrases
            # in the results.
          "phrases": [ # *Optional* A list of strings containing words and phrases "hints" so that
              # the speech recognition is more likely to recognize them. This can be used
              # to improve the accuracy for specific words and phrases, for example, if
              # specific commands are typically spoken by the user. This can also be used
              # to add additional words to the vocabulary of the recognizer. See

  x__xgafv: string, V1 error format.
    Allowed values
      1 - v1 error format
      2 - v2 error format

Returns:
  An object of the form:

    { # This resource represents a long-running operation that is the result of a
      # network API call.
    "metadata": { # Service-specific metadata associated with the operation.  It typically
        # contains progress information and common metadata such as create time.
        # Some services might not provide such metadata.  Any method that returns a
        # long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.
      "a_key": "", # Properties of the object. Contains field @type with type URL.
    },
    "done": True or False, # If the value is `false`, it means the operation is still in progress.
        # If true, the operation is completed, and either `error` or `response` is
        # available.
    "response": { # The normal response of the operation in case of success.  If the original
        # method returns no data on success, such as `Delete`, the response is
        # `google.protobuf.Empty`.  If the original method is standard
        # `Get`/`Create`/`Update`, the response should be the resource.  For other
        # methods, the response should have the type `XxxResponse`, where `Xxx`
        # is the original method name.  For example, if the original method name
        # is `TakeSnapshot()`, the inferred response type is
        # `TakeSnapshotResponse`.
      "a_key": "", # Properties of the object. Contains field @type with type URL.
    },
    "name": "A String", # The server-assigned name, which is only unique within the same service that
        # originally returns it. If you use the default HTTP mapping, the
        # `name` should have the format of `operations/some/unique/name`.
    "error": { # The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different # The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.
        # programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by
        # [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). The error model is designed to be:
        #
        # - Simple to use and understand for most users
        # - Flexible enough to meet unexpected needs
        #
        # # Overview
        #
        # The `Status` message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message,
        # and error details. The error code should be an enum value of
        # google.rpc.Code, but it may accept additional error codes if needed.  The
        # error message should be a developer-facing English message that helps
        # developers *understand* and *resolve* the error. If a localized user-facing
        # error message is needed, put the localized message in the error details or
        # localize it in the client. The optional error details may contain arbitrary
        # information about the error. There is a predefined set of error detail types
        # in the package `google.rpc` that can be used for common error conditions.
        #
        # # Language mapping
        #
        # The `Status` message is the logical representation of the error model, but it
        # is not necessarily the actual wire format. When the `Status` message is
        # exposed in different client libraries and different wire protocols, it can be
        # mapped differently. For example, it will likely be mapped to some exceptions
        # in Java, but more likely mapped to some error codes in C.
        #
        # # Other uses
        #
        # The error model and the `Status` message can be used in a variety of
        # environments, either with or without APIs, to provide a
        # consistent developer experience across different environments.
        #
        # Example uses of this error model include:
        #
        # - Partial errors. If a service needs to return partial errors to the client,
        #     it may embed the `Status` in the normal response to indicate the partial
        #     errors.
        #
        # - Workflow errors. A typical workflow has multiple steps. Each step may
        #     have a `Status` message for error reporting.
        #
        # - Batch operations. If a client uses batch request and batch response, the
        #     `Status` message should be used directly inside batch response, one for
        #     each error sub-response.
        #
        # - Asynchronous operations. If an API call embeds asynchronous operation
        #     results in its response, the status of those operations should be
        #     represented directly using the `Status` message.
        #
        # - Logging. If some API errors are stored in logs, the message `Status` could
        #     be used directly after any stripping needed for security/privacy reasons.
      "message": "A String", # A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any
          # user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the
          # google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.
      "code": 42, # The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code.
      "details": [ # A list of messages that carry the error details.  There will be a
          # common set of message types for APIs to use.
