Google Cloud Speech-to-Text allows you to transcribe audio files to text using speech recognition. Audio can be transcribed within the Google Cloud Platform console, or by calling the Speech-to-Text API using Cloud Functions. Speech-to-Text can be used to enable voice control and searching, add subtitles to streaming content in real-time, and also improve the customer experience by adding interactive voice response (IVR) to your applications.
In this lab, you will work with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text in the GCP console, as well as through the Speech-to-Text API to transcribe an audio file stored in a Cloud Storage bucket.
