 Configure out cloud speech recognition system of choice, like [Google Cloud
 Speech API](https://cloud.google.com/speech/docs/getting-started).
 
+__Note:__ You need to use the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable for your JSON keyfile.
+
 Add sonus and said recognizer:
 ``` javascript
 const Sonus = require('sonus')
-const speech = require('@google-cloud/speech')({
-  projectId: 'streaming-speech-sample',
-  keyFilename: './keyfile.json'
-})
+const speech = require('@google-cloud/speech')
+const client = new speech.SpeechClient()
 ```
 
 Add your keyword and initialize Sonus with a [Snowboy](https://snowboy.kitt.ai)
 hotword:
 ``` javascript
 const hotwords = [{ file: 'resources/snowboy.umdl', hotword: 'snowboy' }]
-const sonus = Sonus.init({ hotwords }, speech)
+const sonus = Sonus.init({ hotwords }, client)
 ```
