public sealed class RecognitionAudio : IMessage<RecognitionAudio>, IEquatable<RecognitionAudio>, IDeepCloneable<RecognitionAudio>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Speech v1p1beta1 API class RecognitionAudio.
Contains audio data in the encoding specified in the RecognitionConfig.
Either content or uri must be supplied. Supplying both or neither
returns [google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT][google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT].
See content limits.
The audio data bytes encoded as specified in
RecognitionConfig. Note: as with all bytes fields, proto buffers use a
pure binary representation, whereas JSON representations use base64.
URI that points to a file that contains audio data bytes as specified in
RecognitionConfig. The file must not be compressed (for example, gzip).
Currently, only Google Cloud Storage URIs are
supported, which must be specified in the following format:
gs://bucket_name/object_name (other URI formats return
[google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT][google.rpc.Code.INVALID_ARGUMENT]).
For more information, see Request
URIs.
