Web Quickstart

This guide will show you how to add Wit to your web app.

Prerequisites

To follow this tutorial:

  • You need a trained Wit instance (follow this guide to get started)
  • Your browser must support WebRTC, which is the case of Chrome, Firefox and Opera right now. Safari and IE don’t support WebRTC yet. Please refer this link for up-to-date information.

Step 1: Get Microphone

Create a new folder for your app, download our Web SDK (aka. Microphone) and extract the archive

  mkdir myapp
  cd myapp
  curl -sL https://github.com/wit-ai/microphone/releases/download/0.8.5/microphone-0.8.5.tar.gz | tar xvzf -
  mv microphone-* microphone

Step 2: Create index.html

In the myapp folder, create a file index.html containing the snippet on the right.

**Replace CLIENT_TOKEN with the client access token of your Wit instance. ** Not the Server access token

  <html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="microphone/css/microphone.min.css">
  </head>
  <body style="text-align: center;">
    <center><div id="microphone"></div></center>
    <pre id="result"></pre>
    <div id="info"></div>
    <div id="error"></div>
    <script src="microphone/js/microphone.min.js"></script>

    <script>
      var mic = new Wit.Microphone(document.getElementById("microphone"));
      var info = function (msg) {
        document.getElementById("info").innerHTML = msg;
      };
      var error = function (msg) {
        document.getElementById("error").innerHTML = msg;
      };
      mic.onready = function () {
        info("Microphone is ready to record");
      };
      mic.onaudiostart = function () {
        info("Recording started");
        error("");
      };
      mic.onaudioend = function () {
        info("Recording stopped, processing started");
      };
      mic.onresult = function (intent, entities) {
        var r = kv("intent", intent);

        for (var k in entities) {
          var e = entities[k];

          if (!(e instanceof Array)) {
            r += kv(k, e.value);
          } else {
            for (var i = 0; i < e.length; i++) {
              r += kv(k, e[i].value);
            }
          }
        }

        document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = r;
      };
      mic.onerror = function (err) {
        error("Error: " + err);
      };
      mic.onconnecting = function () {
        info("Microphone is connecting");
      };
      mic.ondisconnected = function () {
        info("Microphone is not connected");
      };

      mic.connect("CLIENT_TOKEN");
      // mic.start();
      // mic.stop();

      function kv (k, v) {
        if (toString.call(v) !== "[object String]") {
          v = JSON.stringify(v);
        }
        return k + "=" + v + "\n";
      }
    </script>
  </body>
  </html>

Step 3: See it in action

Serve your app with the webserver of your choice

For example, using Python:

  python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Load your page

Go on Chrome, Firefox or Opera and hit http://localhost:8000 (you may have to adjust the domain and port depending on your web server configuration). You'll have to authorize the page to access the microphone.

Click on the microphone to start/stop recording.

The intents and entities received from Wit should be displayed on the page.
