# Setup: STT APIs - IBM
## GET IBM Bluemix Speech To Text API Keys
Here to[get API keys for IBM Bluemix Watson Speech To Text service](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/catalog/services/speech-to-text)
*Not that after you have made your IBM Bluemix account you need the IBM Watson Speech to text credentials for autoEdit.*
[**Here is an unofficial guide to get the IBM Bluemix Speech to text credentials**](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P9GQayzmoRHaDK_p4jPdMChfvQNCzmjQTNWmXFXkOiY/edit?usp=sharing)
## Add the API keys to the app at startup
When you first launch the app by double clicking on it you are taken to the credentials page. Where you can add IBM Watson Speech to text service username and password API keys.
*Note that these are not your IBM Bluemix credentials, but you have to create a speech to text service within Bluemix and get those credentials.*
## Click on `Save Credentials`
Click on `Save Credentials` and that’s it. You are ready to go.
Visit the credentials page to review or change the API keys.
Now you are ready to chose IBM as an option [when adding a new transcription](/user-manual/master/transcribing.md). Checkout the[ transcribing section of the user manual](/user-manual/master/transcribing.md) to see how to do that.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://autoedit.gitbook.io/user-manual/master/setup-stt-apis/setup-stt-apis-ibm.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
