1custom_content: | 2 ### Recognizing speech 3 The following code sample shows how to recognize speech using an audio file from a Cloud Storage bucket as input. 4 First, add the following imports at the top of your file: 5 6 ```java 7 import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.SpeechClient; 8 import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionAudio; 9 import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionConfig; 10 import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding; 11 import com.google.cloud.speech.v1.RecognizeResponse; 12 ``` 13 Then add the following code to do the speech recognization: 14 ```java 15 try (SpeechClient speechClient = SpeechClient.create()) { 16 RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding encoding = RecognitionConfig.AudioEncoding.FLAC; 17 int sampleRateHertz = 44100; 18 String languageCode = "en-US"; 19 RecognitionConfig config = RecognitionConfig.newBuilder() 20 .setEncoding(encoding) 21 .setSampleRateHertz(sampleRateHertz) 22 .setLanguageCode(languageCode) 23 .build(); 24 String uri = "gs://bucket_name/file_name.flac"; 25 RecognitionAudio audio = RecognitionAudio.newBuilder() 26 .setUri(uri) 27 .build(); 28 RecognizeResponse response = speechClient.recognize(config, audio); 29 } 30 ``` 31 32 #### Complete source code 33 34 In [RecognizeSpeech.java](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-java/blob/master/google-cloud-examples/src/main/java/com/google/cloud/examples/speech/snippets/RecognizeSpeech.java) we put a quick start example, which shows how you can use Google Speech API to automatically recognize speech based on a local file. 35 36 For an example audio file, you can use the [audio.raw](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/java-docs-samples/blob/master/speech/cloud-client/resources/audio.raw) file from the samples repository. 37 Note, to play the file on Unix-like system you may use the following command: `play -t raw -r 16k -e signed -b 16 -c 1 audio.raw`
