INTRODUCTION

1.1 OVERVIEW

The Real-time Speech-to-Text transcription project is a dynamic application combining IBM Watson,
PyAudio, and WebSocket technology to convert spoken language into written text in real-time. Utilizing
IBM Watson's Speech to Text service, powered by advanced machine learning algorithms, the project
ensures high accuracy and adaptability across diverse linguistic contexts. PyAudio, a Python library, is
employed for real-time audio capture from a microphone, offering flexibility in audio settings for optimal
performance.

The heart of real-time functionality lies in WebSocket technology, facilitating a persistent connection
between PyAudio (client) and IBM Watson (server). This connection allows continuous data flow,
enabling instant transcription as audio data is transmitted in chunks from PyAudio to IBM Watson. The
WebSocket client in Python manages the establishment and maintenance of this connection.

The project's workflow involves capturing audio with PyAudio, establishing a WebSocket connection,
real-time transcription by IBM Watson, and receiving and processing transcribed text in the Python
application. The outcome is a seamless integration that provides users with immediate and accurate
transcriptions of spoken words.

This project's applications are diverse, including live captioning in virtual meetings, voice-controlled
applications, and more. Its adaptability allows developers to integrate the functionality into various
platforms, addressing the evolving needs of industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, and
media. As a testament to the synergy of powerful APIs, audio processing libraries, and real-time
communication protocols, this project exemplifies the potential for innovative solutions in the ever-
