class platypush.plugins.stt.picovoice.speech.SttPicovoiceSpeechPlugin(library_path: Optional[str] = None, acoustic_model_path: Optional[str] = None, language_model_path: Optional[str] = None, license_path: Optional[str] = None, end_of_speech_timeout: int = 1, *args, **kwargs)[source]

This plugin performs speech detection using PicoVoice. NOTE: The PicoVoice product used for real-time speech-to-text (Cheetah) can be used freely for personal applications on x86_64 Linux. Other architectures and operating systems require a commercial license. You can ask for a license here.

Requires:

  • cheetah (pip install git+https://github.com/BlackLight/cheetah)

__init__(library_path: Optional[str] = None, acoustic_model_path: Optional[str] = None, language_model_path: Optional[str] = None, license_path: Optional[str] = None, end_of_speech_timeout: int = 1, *args, **kwargs)[source]
Parameters:

  • library_path – Path to the Cheetah binary library for your OS (default: CHEETAH_INSTALL_DIR/lib/OS/ARCH/libpv_cheetah.EXT).

  • acoustic_model_path – Path to the acoustic speech model (default: CHEETAH_INSTALL_DIR/lib/common/acoustic_model.pv).

  • language_model_path – Path to the language model (default: CHEETAH_INSTALL_DIR/lib/common/language_model.pv).

  • license_path – Path to your PicoVoice license (default: CHEETAH_INSTALL_DIR/resources/license/cheetah_eval_linux_public.lic).

  • end_of_speech_timeout – Number of seconds of silence during speech recognition before considering a phrase over (default: 1).

before_recording() → None

Method called when the recording_thread starts. Put here any logic that you may want to run before the recording thread starts.

convert_frames(frames: bytes) → tuple[source]

Conversion method for raw audio frames. It just returns the input frames as bytes. Override it if required by your logic.

Parameters:

frames – Input audio frames, as bytes.

Returns:

The audio frames as passed on the input. Override if required.

detect(audio_file: str) → SpeechDetectedResponse[source]

Perform speech-to-text analysis on an audio file.

Parameters:

audio_file – Path to the audio file.

detect_speech(frames: tuple) → str[source]

Method called within the detection_thread when new audio frames have been captured. Must be implemented by the derived classes.

Parameters:

frames – Audio frames, as returned by convert_frames.

Returns:

Detected text, as a string. Returns an empty string if no text has been detected.

detection_thread() → None

This thread reads frames from _audio_queue, performs the speech-to-text detection and calls

on_detection_ended() → None[source]

Method called when the detection_thread stops. Clean up your context variables and models here.

on_detection_started() → None

Method called when the detection_thread starts. Initialize your context variables and models here if required.

on_recording_ended() → None

Method called when the recording_thread stops. Put here any logic that you want to run after the audio device is closed.

on_recording_started() → None

Method called after the recording_thread opens the audio device. Put here any logic that you may want to run after the recording starts.

on_speech_detected(speech: str) → None

Hook called when speech is detected. Triggers the right event depending on the current context.

Parameters:

speech – Detected speech.

recording_thread(input_device: Optional[str] = None, *args, **kwargs) → None[source]

Recording thread. It reads raw frames from the audio device and dispatches them to detection_thread.

Parameters:

  • block_duration – Audio blocks duration. Specify either block_duration or block_size.

  • block_size – Size of the audio blocks. Specify either block_duration or block_size.

  • input_device – Input device

start_detection(*args, **kwargs) → None[source]

Start the speech detection engine.

Parameters:

  • input_device – Audio input device name/index override

  • seconds – If set, then the detection engine will stop after this many seconds, otherwise it’ll start running until stop_detection is called or application stop.

  • block_duration – block_duration override.

stop_detection() → None

Stop the speech detection engine.
