Speech Recognition And Summarization System In Python [Project Tutorial]

We'll build a system that can recognize speech in audio files, generate a transcript, and summarize the transcript.

By the end, you'll have a full speech recognition system that will run on your computer, and be able to transcribe and summarize podcasts, lecture notes, and meeting recordings.

All of the code will be written in JupyterLab using Python. You can read an overview of the project, and see the full code, here - https://github.com/dataquestio/projec... .

We'll start out by build a speech recognition system using a python package called vosk for the recognition and pydub for loading the audio. Then, we'll use recasepunc to add punctutation to our transcripts. We'll then use a huggingface pipeline to summarize the transcripts.

You'll need to install some packages and download 2 audio files, which is covered in the README - https://github.com/dataquestio/projec... .

We have some viewer Q&A at the end, which may help you if you have any issues with the project.
