How to Convert Mp3 to Text in Python?

Install Required Libraries

Use the speech_recognition and pydub libraries to handle audio processing and conversion. Install them using pip install SpeechRecognition pydub.

Loading the MP3 File

Convert MP3 to WAV format since speech_recognition works best with WAV files. Use pydub to load and convert the MP3: from pydub import AudioSegment   sound = AudioSegment.from_mp3("audio.mp3")   sound.export("audio.wav", format="wav")

Initializing the Recognizer

Import speech_recognition and create a recognizer instance:import speech_recognition as sr   recognizer = sr.Recognizer()

Loading the Audio for Recognition

Use speech_recognition to open the converted WAV file: audio_file = sr.AudioFile("audio.wav")   with audio_file as source:       audio_data = recognizer.record(source)

Converting Audio to Text

Use Google Web Speech API (free) to transcribe the audio to text: text = recognizer.recognize_google (audio_data) print(text)

Handling Large Files

For long MP3 files, break the audio into chunks to avoid timeouts. Pydub's split_to_mono() method can help with splitting.
