If you've ever wanted to work with a live transcription of your phone calls (for on screen display, sentiment analysis, translation, etc.) Twilio Media Streams is just the right tool for the job. Twilio Media Streams gives you access to the raw audio streams of your active calls. If we take that stream and pass it to something like Google's Speech-to-Text API, we can gain access to the words being said on the call and use it within our applications! In this video we'll just show them on screen but the sky's the limit for what you could do with this text in your own applications.

Thanks for watching!
