# artplayer-plugin-asr
Audio capture and subtitle display plugin for ArtPlayer. Supplies PCM/WAV chunks
to a caller-provided recognition service.
`stop()` stops recognition and returns a Promise. It permits later playback to
restart capture; the player's direct Web Audio connection remains alive until
the player is destroyed so that stopping recognition does not silence playback.
Call `art.destroy()` when disposing the player.
## TypeScript
Existing imports keep their historical types, including `stop(): void` and a
`void | Promise<void>` recognition callback. For accurate asynchronous types, use
the additive `/runtime` entry. It loads the same implementation as the root entry:
```ts
import Artplayer from 'artplayer'
import asr from 'artplayer-plugin-asr/runtime'
import type { RuntimeOption } from 'artplayer-plugin-asr/runtime'
const option: RuntimeOption = {
onAudioChunk: async ({ pcm, wav }) => {
// Send one of these buffers to your own recognition service.
void [pcm, wav]
return 'Recognized text.'
},
}
const art = new Artplayer({ container: '#player', url: '/video.mp4' })
const recognition = asr(option)(art)
await recognition.stop()
```
The callback may return text, `null`, or no value, synchronously or asynchronously.
CommonJS TypeScript can use `import asr = require('artplayer-plugin-asr/runtime')`.
The root declaration retains its historical NodeNext ESM namespace shape; use
`/runtime` for a directly callable default import in that mode. This is an opt-in
type entry, and does not require changes to existing JavaScript consumers.
## Media access and separate audio
Cross-origin media needs both `moreVideoAttr: { crossOrigin: 'anonymous' }` on
ArtPlayer and an appropriate `Access-Control-Allow-Origin` response from the media
server. Set the attribute before loading the source. Without CORS access, the
default Web Audio route becomes silent even when the video timeline advances;
Chromium supplies zero PCM and Firefox may supply no chunks. A same-origin URL
that redirects to an unapproved origin has the same restriction. ASR does not
change request credentials or bypass browser media security.
ASR captures `art.video`. When used with `artplayer-plugin-audio-track`, the
independent `audio` element is not mixed into recognition. Muting the main video
silences its default ASR input even if a consumer separately unmutes that audio
element. Both plugins keep their existing volume and playback APIs.
## Existing audio graphs
When another library already routes the main video through Web Audio, explicitly
select capture mode to avoid taking ownership of its playback connection:
```ts
import asr from 'artplayer-plugin-asr/runtime'
const plugin = asr({ audioInput: { type: 'capture' }, onAudioChunk: ({ pcm }) => {
// Consume main-media PCM without adding a second speaker route.
void pcm
} })
```
Omitting `audioInput` keeps the existing direct-first behavior. Explicit capture
uses `captureStream`/`mozCaptureStream` and never falls back to direct binding,
including on failure. It owns its captured tracks and Context, not the other
library's playback graph. Pause retains that capture graph; stop and source
changes release it, and subsequent play obtains a new stream. An unsupported
capture source reports an initialization error and releases acquired resources.
Captured PCM is independent of the media element's volume and mute. It is the
main media stream, not the output of another library's effects or an independent
audio-track element. CORS restrictions still apply: Chromium rejects restricted
capture; Firefox may expose a track without delivering PCM. ASR leaves the
original media route alone in either case. This mode does not automatically
detect external owners or repair the default mode's restricted-media silence.
For TypeScript, this additive option is exposed through `/runtime`; historical
root and `/legacy` option declarations remain unchanged.
## Maintenance
A media error stops recognition and ignores pending results from the failed source.
Existing subtitles keep their auto-hide behavior; playback of a valid source can
resume recognition. ASR does not cancel a caller's own network request.
See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the current audio flow, public behavior,
known migration gaps and test commands.
## Demo
[https://artplayer.org](https://artplayer.org/?libs=./uncompiled/artplayer-plugin-asr/index.js&example=asr)
For local verification without a recognition service, run
`yarn dev artplayer-plugin-asr --no-open` in the repository and open the
[local capture demo](http://localhost:8082/?libs=./uncompiled/artplayer-plugin-asr/index.js&example=asr.local).
It displays PCM/WAV statistics and clearly labelled simulated subtitles, using
the site's sample video. Stop ASR leaves playback running; pause/play resumes
capture. The existing `asr` example remains the external-service example.
