Watson Developer Cloud: Speech Android SDK
- steaminghacker 11y agoNo. I want offline versions of this, because you can't rely on a network when on the move.
- IshKebab 11y agoThe alternative is Bing's voice recognition API. You get a decent number of free requests and then have to pay. Google have on too but there is a quota limit of 50 requests per day with no possibility to pay for more, unless you use it via Android or HTML, in which case it is unlimited (though I bet they'll block you if you use too much). There aren't any good offline voice recognition systems that I know of.
- cypher543 11y agoPocketSphinx[1] isn't bad. I'm sure one could get better accuracy with a DNN recognizer, but good luck getting something like Kaldi to run on a smartphone. 1: https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx https://github.com/cmusphinx/pocketsphinx 2: http://kaldi-asr.org/ http://kaldi-asr.org/
- Mikeb85 11y agoThis is interesting. Part of me wants to dislike the idea of cloud services because I like the idea of having the app on the phone itself. But part of me thinks this is super cool because Google Now (and all the speech recognition and whatnot) is cloud based and works great. Having this available to devs is great.
- on_and_off 11y agoGoogle Now also works offline in a very limited fashion. On mobile, not addressing the offline case is a big issue, mobile networks are far too unreliable.
