Audio Stream Timing Out Instantly

[dhanud5]

So I'm trying to get Google speech to text to listen to my microphone for transcription. I am using windows and sox. System variable path is set and all google cloud accounts are active. My problem is that the service stops right as it starts. The max amount of time it ran for was around 50ms. Here's a screencap of what I get in the command prompt.

Here's my code:

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const http = require('http');
const server = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(server);

const fs = require('fs');

const LISTEN_PORT = 8080;

var transText;

server.listen(LISTEN_PORT);
app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public'));

console.log("Listening on port: " + LISTEN_PORT);

app.get( '/', function( req, res ){
res.sendFile( __dirname + '/public/index.html' );
});

const client = new speech.SpeechClient();

const encoding = 'LINEAR16';
const sampleRateHertz = 16000;

const request = {

encoding: encoding,
sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
languageCode: languageCode,

interimResults: true, // If you want interim results, set this to true
};

// Create a recognize stream
const recognizeStream = client
.streamingRecognize(request)
.on('error', console.error)
.on('data', data =>
console.log(
data.results[0] && data.results[0].alternatives[0]
? Transcription: ${data.results[0].alternatives[0].transcript}\n
: \n\nReached transcription time limit, press Ctrl+C\n
)
);

// Start recording and send the microphone input to the Speech API
record
.start({
sampleRateHertz: 16000,
// Other options, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-record-lpcm16#options
verbose: true,
recordProgram: 'sox', // Try also "arecord" or "sox"
silence: '1500000.0',
device: 'plughw:0,0',
})
.on('error', console.error)
.pipe(recognizeStream);

setTimeout(function () {
record.stop()
}, 10000)

console.log('Listening, press Ctrl+C to stop.');

io.on('connection', function(socket) {

    io.emit('transcription', transText);

});
