After toying with a few Azure Cognitive Services (here, here, and here), this is the final blog around these services. I piece them into a Speech-to-Speech translation application.

  1. Using a simple web page, I capture the voice and send it over to the Speech-to-Text service to get the translated message.
  2. From this text, the Translation service translates the message from English to a target language.
  3. Finally, the Text-to-Speech service generates the voice for the translated message.
Here is a demo


The source code is at github.

OpenAI: Functions Feature in 2023-07-01-preview API version

  Image from https://www.pexels.com/@pavel-danilyuk/ One of the cool features of OpenAI version 2023-07-01 is its custom Functions feature. This feature is close to me because I am working on a project where we require OpenAI to generate JSON responses. We always want the generated JSON to be consistent, otherwise, we need to do some post-processing tasks to get the JSON object in the correct schema. In the blog, we observe the completion with and without this new feature.

We want to get the na
