I am new to Google Cloud, I recently created a project with Speech-to-Text API. After creating the project and linking it to a billing account, I accessed the Node.js in-console tutorial for a quick start.
After following all the steps in the in-console tutorial (and dealing with some mistakes in the code in the tutorial itself), and running the code, I got the following error:
node:internal/process/promises:289
triggerUncaughtException(err, true /* fromPromise */);
^
Error: 3 INVALID_ARGUMENT: Invalid resource field value in the request.

This is after I seted a project for quota purposes (using gcloud auth application-default set-quota-project $PROJECT_ID in the terminal).
I also did the same steps through the gcloud CLI (on Windows) and it returned the same error.
Is there something I forgot to do? Or something in the code is wrong? Maybe it's something to do with the fact that I'm working with version 2 of the API and the code is optimized to work only with version 1 of the API?
Many thanks in advance!
The reusable Node.js code (I made some changes from the original code of the tutorial after encountering errors, and I also changed the way to get the data of the audio file after I couldn't get it from the uri of the bucket, as is customary in GCP):
const speech = require('@google-cloud/speech').v2;
const https = require('https');
const client = new speech.SpeechClient();
const projectId = '<ProjectId>';
var recognizerName;
const fileUrl = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/cloud-samples-data/speech/brooklyn_bridge.wav';
async function createRecognizer() {
const recognizerRequest = {
parent: `projects/${projectId}/locations/global`,
recognizerId: 'en123',
recognizer: {
languageCodes: ['en-US'],
model: 'latest_long',
},
};
const operation = await client.createRecognizer(recognizerRequest);
const recognizer = operation[0].result;
recognizerName = recognizer.name;
console.log(`Created new recognizer: ${recognizerName}`);
}
async function getUrlData(url) {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
https.get(url, response => {
var body = '';
var i = 0;
response.on('data', chunk => {
i++;
body += chunk;
});
response.on('end', () => {
resolve(Buffer.from(body).toString('base64'));
});
});
});
}
async function transcribeFile() {
const content = await getUrlData(fileUrl);
const transcriptionRequest = {
recognizer: recognizerName,
config: {
autoDecodingConfig: {},
},
content: content,
};
const response = await client.recognize(transcriptionRequest); // <=== The error occurs on this line
for (const result of response[0].results) {
console.log(`Transcript: ${result.alternatives[0].transcript}`);
}
}
createRecognizer();
transcribeFile();
Update:
After looking at the (asker's) code in this question, I realized that I got confused in the definition of recognizerName and used only the string of the recognizerId instead of using the full path of the recognizer (projects/${projectId}/locations/global/recognizers/${recognizerId}), so currently my code looks like this:
const projectId = '<ProjectId>';
const recognizerId = 'en123';
const fileUrl = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/cloud-samples-data/speech/brooklyn_bridge.wav';
// ...
async function transcribeFile() {
const recognizerName = `projects/${projectId}/locations/global/recognizers/${recognizerId}`;
const content = await getUrlData(fileUrl);
const transcriptionRequest = {
recognizer: recognizerName,
config: {
autoDecodingConfig: {},
},
content: content,
};
const response = await client.recognize(transcriptionRequest); // <=== The error occurs on this line
for (const result of response[0].results) {
console.log(`Transcript: ${result.alternatives[0].transcript}`);
}
}
createRecognizer();
transcribeFile();
But now I get another error:
Error: 3 INVALID_ARGUMENT: Audio data does not appear to be in a supported encoding. If you believe this to be incorrect, try explicitly specifying the decoding parameters.

I managed to solve it!
The error Audio data does not appear to be in a supported encoding. If you believe this to be incorrect, try explicitly specifying the decoding parameters occurs when the requested file is in a format without Codec (in this case .raw) and therefore the Speech to Text API does not know how to encode it.
To solve this I had to pass an explicitDecodingConfig object when creating the recognizer (within the defaultRecognitionConfig property) or later in the transcriptionRequest (within the config property).
const speech = require('@google-cloud/speech').v2;
const projectId = '<ProjectId>';
const recognizerId = 'en123';
const client = new speech.SpeechClient();
async function createRecognizer() {
const recognizerRequest = {
parent: `projects/${projectId}/locations/global`,
recognizerId,
recognizer: {
defaultRecognitionConfig: {
explicitDecodingConfig: {
encoding: 'LINEAR16',
sampleRateHertz: 16000,
audioChannelCount: 1
}
},
languageCodes: ['en-US'],
model: 'latest_long',
},
};
const operation = await client.createRecognizer(recognizerRequest);
const recognizer = operation[0].result;
const recognizerName = recognizer.name;
console.log(`Created new recognizer: ${recognizerName}`);
}
async function transcribeFile() {
const recognizerName = `projects/${projectId}/locations/global/recognizers/${recognizerId}`;
const gcsUri = 'gs://cloud-samples-data/speech/brooklyn_bridge.raw';
const transcriptionRequest = {
recognizer: recognizerName,
uri: gcsUri,
config: {
explicitDecodingConfig: { // If you didn't set explicitDecodingConfig when creating the recognizer, you have to set it here.
encoding: 'LINEAR16',
sampleRateHertz: 16000,
audioChannelCount: 1
}
},
}
const response = await client.recognize(transcriptionRequest);
for (const result of response[0].results) {
console.log(`Transcript: ${result.alternatives[0].transcript}`);
}

await createRecognizer();
await transcribeFile();
