public sealed class SpeechRecognitionAlternative : IMessage<SpeechRecognitionAlternative>, IEquatable<SpeechRecognitionAlternative>, IDeepCloneable<SpeechRecognitionAlternative>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Speech-to-Text v2 API class SpeechRecognitionAlternative.
The confidence estimate between 0.0 and 1.0. A higher number
indicates an estimated greater likelihood that the recognized words are
correct. This field is set only for the top alternative of a non-streaming
result or, of a streaming result where
[is_final][google.cloud.speech.v2.StreamingRecognitionResult.is_final] is
set to true. This field is not guaranteed to be accurate and users should
not rely on it to be always provided. The default of 0.0 is a sentinel
value indicating confidence was not set.
A list of word-specific information for each recognized word.
When the
[SpeakerDiarizationConfig][google.cloud.speech.v2.SpeakerDiarizationConfig]
is set, you will see all the words from the beginning of the audio.
