@IBOutlet weak var transcriptionTextField: UITextView!
// we need this audio player to play audio
var audioPlayer: AVAudioPlayer!

override func viewDidLoad()

    super.viewDidLoad()
}

// this function is required to stop audio on audio completion otherwise it will play same audio again and again 
func audioPlayerDidFinishPlaying(_ player: AVAudioPlayer, successfully flag: Bool)
{
    player.stop()
}

// this function is required to get a speech recognizer and after that make and request to speech recognizer 
func requestSpeechAuth()
{
    SFSpeechRecognizer.requestAuthorization { authStatus in
        if authStatus == SFSpeechRecognizerAuthorizationStatus.authorized {
            if let path = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "mpthreetest", withExtension: "m4a") {
                do {
                    let sound = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: path)
                    self.audioPlayer = sound

                let request = SFSpeechURLRecognitionRequest(url:path)
                recognizer?.recognitionTask(with: request) { (result, error) in
                    if let error = error {
                    print("there is a error\(error)")
                    } else {
// here you are printing out the audio output basically showing it on uitext field
                        self.transcriptionTextField.text = result?.bestTranscription.formattedString
                    }
