Quickstart: Recognize speech in Java on Windows, macOS, or Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 9)

This sample demonstrates how to recognize speech with the Speech SDK for Java on Windows, macOS or Linux (Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, Debian 9). See the accompanying article on the SDK documentation page which describes how to build this sample from scratch in Eclipse.

Note: the Speech SDK for the JRE currently supports only the Windows x64 platform, macOS 10.13 or later, and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 x64, Ubuntu 18.04 x64, or Debian 9 x64 distribution).

Prerequisites

• A subscription key for the Speech service. See Try the speech service for free.

• A PC (Windows x64, Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 x64) or Mac (macOS 10.13 or later) capable to run Eclipse, with a working microphone.

• 64-bit JRE/JDK for Java 8.

• Version 4.8 of Eclipse, 64-bit.

• On Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04, run the following commands for the installation of required packages:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.0 libasound2

• On Debian 9, run the following commands for the installation of required packages:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.2 libasound2

Build the sample

Note: more detailed step-by-step instructions are available here.

• By downloading the Microsoft Cognitive Services Speech SDK when building this sample, you acknowledge its license, see Speech SDK license agreement.
• Download the sample code to your development PC.
• Create an empty workspace in Eclipse and import the folder containing this sample as a project into your workspace.
• Edit the Main source:
  • Replace the string YourSubscriptionKey with your own subscription key.
  • Replace the string YourServiceRegion with the service region of your subscription. For example, replace with westus if you are using the 30-day free trial subscription.
• Save the modified file.

Run the sample

• Press F11, or select Run > Debug.
