I have spent about 3 days on this same problem. Essentially, I am trying to use google cloud speech api to do a rough transcription of my audio file, located at gs://architecture-transcript-1/architecture.flac The file was previously a m4a, but I converted it to a flac file and it has a sample rate of 44100hz and lasts 1 hour 18 minutes.
I am running Python 3.5 and am using the command prompt. The tutorial, I have been using can be found here: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/python-docs-samples/blob/master/speech/cloud-client/README.rst
I have done all of the steps in the tutorial, which includes installing pip, and vitual env, installing the dependencies, and then simply using the command created, "transcribe_async.py ".
In the command prompt this looks like:
:\> virtualenv env
:\> virtualenv env/bin/activate
:\> cd C:\python-docs-samples-master\speech\cloud-client
C:\python-docs-samples-master\speech\cloud-client> pip install -r requirements.txt
C:\python-docs-samples-master\speech\cloud-client> python transcribe_async.py gs://architecture-transcript-1/architecture.flac
Prior to doing this, I went into the transcribe_async.py file to make sure my encoding and file format matched.
After running it, it says waiting for operation to complete... and then get this final error:
File "transcribe_async.py", line 96, in <module>
transcribe_gcs(args.path)
File "transcribe_async.py", line 79, in transcribe_gcs
response = operation.result(timeout=90)
File "C:\Users\George\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\google\gax\__init__.py",
line 595, in result
if not self._poll(timeout).HasField('response'):
File "C:\Users\George\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\google\gax\__init__.py",
line 705, in _poll
return retryable_done_check()
File "C:\Users\George\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\google\gax\retry.py", line
143, in inner
raise exc
google.gax.errors.RetryError: RetryError(Retry total timeout exceeded with
exception, caused by Deadline Exceeded)
The main error seems to be: "google.gax.errors.RetryError: RetryError(Retry total timeout exceeded with exception, caused by Deadline Exceeded)"
And I got this while trying my audio file with the google python code as well.
I am learning how to use Python, currently my 1st year, so this may be a beginner mistake, but help would really be greatly appreciated, as I have been struggling with this for a while!
P.S Currently my file is public so if it helps to try it out directly, that is still available.
Thanks.
