speechmatics-flow

Python client library and CLI for Speechmatics' Flow Service API.

• Setting URLs for connecting to flow service. These values can be used in places of the --url flag:

*Note: Requires access to microphone

speechmatics-flow --auth-token $TOKEN --ssl-mode insecure

Change Assistant (Amelia → Humphrey)

To set the assistant to Humphrey instead of Amelia run this command:

speechmatics-flow --auth-token $TOKEN --ssl-mode insecure --assistant humphrey

Load conversation_config from a config file

Instead of manually setting up conversation parameters, you can load them from a configuration file.

Create a JSON file with the template details, for example "conversation_config.json" and run flow client using the --config-file option

{
  "template_id": "flow-service-assistant-humphrey",
  "template_variables": {
    "persona": "You are an English butler named Humphrey.",
    "style": "Be charming but unpredictable.",
    "context": "You are taking a customer's order at a fast food restaurant."
  }
}

speechmatics-flow --auth-token $TOKEN --ssl-mode insecure --config-file conversation_config.json

Hint: Why limit Humphrey? Try changing the template_variables to see what happens if he’s not a butler but perhaps... a pirate, a celebrity chef, or a royal advisor. We won’t stop you. 🏴‍☠️
