Multiple StreamingRecognizeRequest - google-cloud-speech

Question

I'm trying to setup a StreamingRecognize, with multiple request's. Is it possible ?
The point is that i want to send audio stream from the mic with a unknown time, so i think that i must implement multiple requests. (Considering that a request session has a max_time = 65 seconds).
Anyone can help me with this ?
Thank's alot ;)
Google sample code:
static async Task<object> StreamingMicRecognizeAsync(int seconds)
{
if (NAudio.Wave.WaveIn.DeviceCount < 1)
{
Console.WriteLine("No microphone!");
return -1;
}
var speech = SpeechClient.Create();
var streamingCall = speech.StreamingRecognize();
// Write the initial request with the config.
await streamingCall.WriteAsync(
new StreamingRecognizeRequest()
{
StreamingConfig = new StreamingRecognitionConfig()
{
Config = new RecognitionConfig()
{
Encoding =
RecognitionConfig.Types.AudioEncoding.Linear16,
SampleRateHertz = 16000,
LanguageCode = "en",
},
InterimResults = true,
}
});
// Print responses as they arrive.
Task printResponses = Task.Run(async () =>
{
while (await streamingCall.ResponseStream.MoveNext(
default(CancellationToken)))
{
foreach (var result in streamingCall.ResponseStream
.Current.Results)
{
foreach (var alternative in result.Alternatives)
{
Console.WriteLine(alternative.Transcript);
}
}
}
});
// Read from the microphone and stream to API.
object writeLock = new object();
bool writeMore = true;
var waveIn = new NAudio.Wave.WaveInEvent();
waveIn.DeviceNumber = 0;
waveIn.WaveFormat = new NAudio.Wave.WaveFormat(16000, 1);
waveIn.DataAvailable +=
(object sender, NAudio.Wave.WaveInEventArgs args) =>
{
lock (writeLock)
{
if (!writeMore) return;
streamingCall.WriteAsync(
new StreamingRecognizeRequest()
{
AudioContent = Google.Protobuf.ByteString
.CopyFrom(args.Buffer, 0, args.BytesRecorded)
}).Wait();
}
};
waveIn.StartRecording();
Console.WriteLine("Speak now.");
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds));
// Stop recording and shut down.
waveIn.StopRecording();
lock (writeLock) writeMore = false;
await streamingCall.WriteCompleteAsync();
await printResponses;
return 0;
}

In Cloud Speech-to-Text audio length limit for each streaming request is around 1 minute [1]. You can either use asynchronous speech recognition [2] for audio files up to 180 minutes or renew the streaming request before it reaches to the time limit for streaming speech recognition [3].
Here is a Python example how to renew streaming request and stream audio more than 1 minute [4].
