These samples show how to use the Google Cloud Speech API to transcribe audio files, using the Google API Client Library for .NET.

This sample requires .NET Core 2.0 or later. That means using Visual Studio 2017, or the command line. Visual Studio 2015 users can use this older sample.

You can also build, run and edit this sample in your web browser using Google Cloud Shell. The instructions on how to do this are in the Build and Run with Google Cloud Shell section below.

1. Follow the set-up instructions in the documentation.

2. Enable APIs for your project. Click here to visit Cloud Platform Console and enable the Google Cloud Speech API.

3. From a Powershell command line, run the QuickStart sample:

   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\speech\api\QuickStart> dotnet restore
   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\speech\api\QuickStart> dotnet run
   how old is the Brooklyn Bridge
   

4. And run Recognize for more examples:

   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\speech\api\Recognize> dotnet restore
   PS C:\...\dotnet-docs-samples\speech\api\Recognize> dotnet run
