What is the difference between Google Cloud Speech API and the one that recognizer.recognize_google is using?

I know that the Google Cloud Speech API is not free. What about the one that that recognizer.recognize_google is using? Is it the Google Web Speech API? Is it free for commercial use?

The Google Cloud Speech API are based on the newer versions and also it has minimum latency compared to the recognizer in python. The recognizer.recognize_google limits you when you are doing for longer audio files. Thats all I know. If you know anything more than this feel free to mention. Good luck!

I am not sure if the module works correctly . Keeps getting the error AssertionError: credentials_json must be None or a valid JSON string . Though the json credential file is downloaded from google

[amcareem]

Did you import as import os ["GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS"]="/path/to/file.json"

or

import os from google.oauth2 import service_account

credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file("your-json-path-with-filename.json") client = language.LanguageServiceClient(credentials=credentials)
