Interp-Service

A python web app that brokers acces to certain speech-related Google AI services

Features

• Authentication with Firebase Auth
• Enumeration of available languages
• WebSockets channels for transcribing and translating audio data

Google Cloud APIs used and required

• Cloud Speech-to-Text API
• Cloud Translation API
• Firebase Auth

Prerequisites

• Docker
• GCP account with Cloud Speech-to-Text API, Cloud Translation API, and Firebase Auth enabled
• A service account with read access to those APIs and a JSON credentials file

Instructions

1. Enable all of those APIs in your GCP project. Make sure to enable Firebase Auth in your Firebase project
   • Below is a quick, safe Firebase Auth configuration for playing around with this system. All of these options are available in the setup wizard when you initially enable Auth:
     • enable only email/password auth
     • manually create a user
     • disable user creation via the API
2. Create a service account with access to these APIs. Download its credentials file and put it in the root of this project with the name google-services.json
3. Build the image and run it in a container:

$ docker build -t <image_name> . && docker run -it -p 8080:8080 --name <image_name> <container_name>

4. Confirm its running and available (should return a list of languages):

$ curl http://<ip_appdress>:8080/getSupportedLanguages
