+Using the API
+=============
+
+The `Google Speech`_ API enables developers to convert audio to text.
+The API recognizes over 80 languages and variants, to support your global user base.
+
+.. warning::
+
+   This is a Beta release of Google Speech API. This
+   API is not intended for real-time usage in critical applications.
+
+.. _Google Speech: https://cloud.google.com/speech/docs/getting-started
+
+Client
+------
+
+:class:`~google.cloud.speech.client.Client` objects provide a
+means to configure your application. Each instance holds
+an authenticated connection to the Natural Language service.
+
+For an overview of authentication in ``google-cloud-python``, see
+:doc:`google-cloud-auth`.
+
+Assuming your environment is set up as described in that document,
+create an instance of :class:`~google.cloud.speech.client.Client`.
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+     >>> from google.cloud import speech
+     >>> client = speech.Client()
+
+Methods
+-------
+
+At this moment we only support one method of the Speech API:
+
+- `syncrecognize`_
+
+Synchronous Recognize
+---------------------
+
+The :meth:`~google.cloud.speech.Client.syncrecognize` method
+does speech to text on a file and returns the text
+as a :class:`list` of tuples dicts (each containing a transcript an a confidence value).
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+     >>> alternatives = client.syncrecognize(None,"gs://my-bucket/recording.flac",
+     ...                 "FLAC", 16000, max_alternatives=2):
+     >>> for alternative in alternatives:
+     ...     print('=' * 20)
+     ...     print('   transcript: %s' % (alternative["transcript"],))
+     ...     print('   confidence: %s' % (alternative["confidence"],))
+     ====================
+              transcript: Hello, this is a test
+              confidence: 0.81
+     ====================
+              transcript: Hello, this is one test
+              confidence: 0
