Google Cloud provides powerful and industry-leading cloud computing services for developers all around the world. It offers numerous solutions for AI, big data, machine learning, OCR, speech-to-text and more. However, you need some beginner programming skills before calling these APIs. So how people who never learn programming languages could use these amazing capabilities empowered by Google?

Here, in this article, I will show you how to use Google Speech to Text API without any programming skills and load it in EasySpeech2Text.
