​

Adding Additional Languages in voice_bot.py

To support additional languages in your VoiceBot, update the languages parameter in the AzureTranscriber node. Follow these steps:

import outspeed as sp

@sp.App()
class VoiceBot:
    async def setup(self) -> None:s
      """
      Initialize the VoiceBot.
      """
      # ... existing code ...
      self.transcriber_node = sp.AzureTranscriber(
          languages=["en-US", "fr-FR", "es-ES"]  # Added Spanish (es-ES)
      )
      # ... existing code ...

​

Steps to Add a New Language:

1. Identify the Language Code:

   • Refer to the Azure Cognitive Services Speech-to-Text documentation to find the appropriate language code for the language you want to add.

2. Update the languages List:

   • In voice_bot.py, locate the AzureTranscriber initialization within the setup method.
   • Add the new language code to the languages list. For example, to add Spanish, include "es-ES".

3. Restart the VoiceBot:

   • After updating the code, restart your VoiceBot to apply the changes.

4. Test the New Language:

   • Verify that the VoiceBot correctly processes audio in the newly added language.

By following these steps, you can easily expand the language capabilities of your VoiceBot to cater to a broader audience.
