Creating a Voice-Enabled Chatbot with Azure Speech SDK and Azure OpenAI

💡 Integrating Azure Speech SDK with Azure OpenAI allows you to create a chatbot that takes voice input and provides voice output.

🔊 The process involves taking voice input, converting it to text using the Speech SDK, passing the text to the Azure OpenAI endpoint, and converting the response back into voice.

🔧 Azure Cognitive Services provides the necessary components for this integration, including the Speech SDK and Azure OpenAI.

🔑 Creating variables to store the Azure key and region.

🗣️ Creating speech configuration to enable chatbot voice.

🎤 Setting up audio configuration for input through the default microphone.

🎙️ Construct speech recognizer resources to take speech and audio as input.

🔊 Initialize speech recognizer with speech config and audio config.

📝 Grab user input through speech recognition and extract recognized text.

🔑 To utilize Azure Speech SDK, you need to create an instance in the Azure portal and obtain the API key and region.

🌍 Azure Cognitive Services offers various functionalities, including speech, language, and decision-making, which can be combined in a multi-purpose instance.

⚙️ It is recommended to use the same API key for multiple features of Azure Cognitive Services.
