Python Voice Translation in 17 Minutes with Watson Speech to Text and Language Translator

Watson NLP API's on their own are pretty neat...but
...by stacking multiple together you can unleash a heap of NLP prowess.
In this case, by stacking the Watson Speech to Text API and the Watson Language Translation API you're able to convert audio in one language to text in another in 15'ish minutes (the actual process runs in seconds). But why stop there! You could even then take that text and using text to speech to read it out to a user!
In this video you’ll learn how to:
1. Set up Watson Speech to Text and Language Translator
2. Convert baseline language from speech to text
3. Translate baseline language to another

Definitely found this useful! simplified and great explanation of the process. Thank you!!! 👌👍👍

[@NicholasRenotte]

Anytime!!

[@E-Man08]

Thanks for these man! I got a question, do you think it would be possible to use a language identification for the speech instead of having to change the language manually? Also, does this work well with your text to speech?

[@NicholasRenotte]

Sure can, check this out @gogojijigo: cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/language-translator?code=python#identify

Dear Nicholas, I am having troubles uploading my own audio files. Need help.

[@vikashchand.]

Cool stuff man. Do you think it might be possible to do this in real time? Something like the Talking Tom app ..?

[@NicholasRenotte]

Yep @Vikash Chand! I've got a vid planned for real time speech to text for interviews so could go it for voice translation as well, it would be close to real time!
