This project allows users to convert spoken words into written text using their microphone and display the transcribed text in real-time on a web page built with React.

Key Features:

• Microphone access to record speech
• Real-time transcription of spoken words into text
• Start/Stop recording buttons
• Option to copy or save the transcribed text

Tech Stack:

• Frontend: React (JSX, Hooks, useState/useEffect)
• Browser API: Web Speech API (window.SpeechRecognition or webkitSpeechRecognition)

Optional:

• Tailwind CSS / Bootstrap for styling
• LocalStorage or backend (Node.js/Firebase) for saving notes

How it Works:

1. User clicks "Start":
2. The app triggers the Web Speech API's SpeechRecognition service.
3. Microphone captures audio input.
4. SpeechRecognition processes audio:
5. Converts spoken words into text.
6. Fires events like onresult to handle the transcribed text.

Transcribed text updates the state:

• React re-renders the component to show real-time text.

User clicks "Stop":

• SpeechRecognition stops listening.
• Final transcription is saved/displayed.

Code Snippet (Basic Hook Example):

import React, { useState } from 'react';

const SpeechToText = () => {
 const [text, setText] = useState('');
 const [listening, setListening] = useState(false);

 const SpeechRecognition = window.SpeechRecognition || window.webkitSpeechRecognition;
 const recognition = new SpeechRecognition();

 recognition.continuous = true;
 recognition.interimResults = true;

 recognition.onresult = (event) => {
   let transcript = '';
   for (let i = event.resultIndex; i < event.results.length; i++) {
     transcript += event.results[i][0].transcript;
   }
   setText(transcript);
 };

 const startListening = () => {
   recognition.start();
   setListening(true);
 };

 const stopListening = () => {
   recognition.stop();
   setListening(false);
 };

 return (

{text}

   
 );
};

export default SpeechToText;
 

Limitations:

• Not supported in all browsers (e.g., Firefox)
• May require HTTPS for mic permissions
• Accuracy can vary based on speech clarity

Possible Enhancements:

• Add language selection
• Export to PDF or TXT
• Voice commands integration
• Save past transcripts
