In this video, I’ll walk you through how to create a simple Speech-to-Text application in Java using the AssemblyAI API. We’ll go step-by-step, starting from getting your API key on AssemblyAI’s website all the way to writing the Java code that transcribes audio into text.
We’ll set up a new Maven project, add the required dependencies, and store our API key securely in a .env file. Then we’ll build out our main class, write a transcribe method to send an audio file to AssemblyAI, and print out the transcription result right in the console.
You’ll also see a live example where we transcribe a short audio clip — “Hello, this is a test.” — and get back the correct text output.
By the end of this video, you’ll understand exactly how to:
Set up and authenticate with the AssemblyAI API
Send audio files for transcription in Java
Handle API responses and display the results
Structure a small but functional Speech-to-Text Java project
This tutorial is perfect if you’re looking to integrate speech recognition into your Java applications or just want to learn how to work with external APIs in a clean, beginner-friendly way.
