Hi, I need a speech recognition system (speech to text) using Processing’s Minim library.  
I hope you can help me, Thanks

Hi @glomb. The only text/speech library I’m aware of that works with Processing is [ttslib](https://www.local-guru.net/blog/pages/ttslib) which does the opposite of what your are looking for. Minim doesn’t have speech to text support.  
It looks like there are bunches of APIs out there that do this, most seem to use a cloud based REST API which you could use with Java. But not all of them are free or open source. So it depends on what you are trying to do.  
Good luck.
