Does anyone knows that if "speech to text" and "text to speech" api's used in Siri are accessible in IOS 5 or IOS 6 SDK?
I researched but couldn't find anything about it in documentation, so if thats not included in SDK are there any "Siri" quality libraries in market?
With keyboard dictation on iPhone, you can dictate text anywhere you can type it. On supported models, general text dictation (for example, composing messages and notes) can be processed on your device in many languages, and no internet connection is required.
How to turn on Voice Control. Go to Settings and select Accessibility. Select Voice Control, then select Set up Voice Control. A download will begin in the background.
What it does: Voice recognition (or speech recognition) allows you to rapidly write text just by speaking to your phone. For best results it will require an Internet connection.
Overview. The speech recognition process involves capturing audio of the user's voice and sending that data to Apple's servers for processing. The audio you capture constitutes sensitive user data, and you must make every effort to protect it.
Siri is not available in API form yet, however, any UITextField or UITextArea can be dictated to using the built-in option for speech-to-text.
Check out Openears at: http://www.politepix.com/openears I've used it experimentally and it worked great. It will recognize preset vocabularies very well. There is a slight pause of 1/2 second or so before it recognizes the word and it gets confused in an environment with a lot of voices (a crowded restaurant), but in a reasonably quiet setting I found it works great.
