How to change the language of Google Speech API on Java?

Question

I am using Google Speech API on Java.

I can find language configuration something like languagecode in Python version, but I can't find that in Java version. I can find documents changing the language for Python, but I can't find for Java. And, I can't find something like languagecode or en_US in Java source.

Answer 1

It's a field of the RecognitionConfig object, so you should be able to set it here.

I don't have access to the Java code at the moment, but it's probably something like this:

RecognitionConfig config =
      RecognitionConfig.newBuilder()
          .setEncoding(AudioEncoding.LINEAR16)
          .setSampleRate(samplingRate)
          .setLanguageCode("en-US")
          .build();

Of course, you can omit the encoding and sample rate if you're using the default values.

This field is part of the API so it may be defined in a protobuf file rather than in Java source files.
