In a earlier initiative, the Speech GPT terminal was launched, which allowed customers to ask questions within the terminal and obtain spoken solutions. This gadget additional enhances the design by utilizing a extra highly effective board to transcribe audio in real-time. Audio transcription is helpful for recording assembly minutes, changing lectures to textual content, and varied different functions. This gadget also can help journalists in transcribing interviews. Right here, GPT and a microphone are employed for transcription.
Raspberry Pi Zero is utilised for speech recognition, a type of synthetic intelligence programming. Understanding and reproducing phonetics requires important coaching and refinement. Nevertheless, some free open supply software program, together with Google-STT, can be utilized for this function.
The creator’s prototype is proven in Fig. 1. The elements wanted to construct this gadget are listed within the Invoice of Supplies desk.

Circuit and dealing
Fig. 2 exhibits the circuit diagram for speech transcription on Raspberry Pi Zero. It’s constructed utilizing Raspberry Pi Zero, PAM8403 amplifier, two audio system, and some different elements.
There isn’t a sound output on the Pi Zero board. An HDMI gadget (for instance, a TV) have to be linked to the Pi Zero to get sound. Nevertheless, there’s a neater approach, as proven within the schematic. Any two of the 4 PWM GPIO pins 12, 13, 18, and 19 can be utilized to power audio output by including only one line within the ‘/boot/config.txt’ file – [dtoverlay=audremap,pins_18_13]. Open the file, go to the underside, and add this line, adopted by a reboot. Subsequent time, the audio sign can be obtainable on these two GPIO pins. Simply add a headphone to the IN-L and IN-R to get sound on the headphones. The PAM8403 amplifies the sound additional for a speaker. Fig. 3 exhibits the picture of the OTG cable for connecting the USB microphone.
$> sudo nano /boot/
config.txt
Add the above line and reboot. For Pi-5 the config.txt could also be in one other place. This PAM8403 is rated for 5V however works on 3.3V too.
