Speech to Text for Maya

'The Problem'

For some animators whose native language is not English, they may sometimes have trouble understanding a dialogue. When this happens, they have to leave Maya and navigate through folders to find a script document, then read it to find the part that corresponds to the scene, or if such a document does not exist, spend time asking another person who says the dialogue.

'A solution'

This is a tool that uses Google's speech recognition API to convert dialogue in a Maya scene into text (only works in English) by simply pressing a button, the dialogue is automatically converted into text and appears in a new floating window in Maya!

'El Problema'

Para algunos animadores cuya lengua materna no es Ingles a veces pueden tener problemas entendiendo un diálogo, al ocurrir esto hay que dejar Maya he ir a navegar en carpetas para encontrar un documento de guión que luego hay que leer para encontrar la parte que corresponde a la escena, o si no existe tal documento gastar tiempo preguntando a otra persona que dice el dialogo.

'Solución'
Este es una herramienta utiliza un API de reconocimiento de voz de Google para convertir el diálogo en una escena de Maya en texto (solo funciona en Inglés) solo precionando un botón el diálogo se convierte automáticamente en texto y aparece en una nueva ventana flotante en Maya!

The script is "big" in size because to make this work I had to compile the necessary python libraries and the google API so its just "plug and play" with a drag and drop installation for the end user, no python or dependencies are required for this to work.

Currently only for Windows, plans to get it on Mac/Linux
