Setting Up Your Google Cloud Account

Use the following guide to setup your Google Cloud account for use with the diarization tool in Phon. Main steps:
  1. Create Google Cloud Account
  2. Enable Speech-to-Text API
  3. Create service account with Storage Admin and Speech Client roles and download credentials file
  4. Take note of project id

Account Setup Steps

  1. Goto https://cloud.google.com. Sign in to the Google account which will be the owner of the cloud services project
  2. If you do not already have a Google Cloud account, click Get started for free. Follow the three steps for setting up your account.

Enable Speech-to-Text API

  1. From the APIs and Services page, click the Enable APIs and Services button. Search for 'Cloud Speech-to-Text API' and click the first result. Enable the API by clicking the Enable button on information page for the API.



  2. Access the left-hand menu by clicking on the menu icon in the top-left corner of the webpage. Then click IAMs and Admin then Service accounts

Create Service Account

  1. Create a new service account for your project by clicking the Create Service Account button. Choose a name for the account and then add the Cloud Storage Admin and Cloud Speech Client roles for the account. You may leave the last step blank and click done.







  2. From the Service Accounts page click on the triple-dot icon under Actions in the row of the service account created in the previous step. Click Manage Keys and then AddKey > Create Key. Select JSON for the format and then save the resulting download. You will need this file when using the diarization tool.







Find Project Id

  1. Finally, take note of your project id. This can be found under IAM > Settings in the Google Cloud platform menu and is different then your project name (alert-snowfall-332412 in the example below.) If you forget, note this is also the same as the first portion of the downloaded .json filename - without the final -XXXXXXX.json.
