For google home actions, can I use my own voice or someone else's voice with permission? Can I read the text responses, record them, and play them back as audio files?
Earplay is an example on Alexa:

A guy from Gupshup said that it is not allowed:

I didn't see where it was not allowed in the terms of service.
"the platform does not allow that" does not mean that it is legally not allowed, but that it is simply not possible.
Both Alexa and Google Assistant have a default voice which can not be changed.
When developing an Action, you can select from one of four voices (two male, two female) to use. You can't use the default Google Assistant voice. There is no technical way to use another voice.
While you can send audio files, and these audio files can contain a voice, this would be a lot of work for little benefit.
Yes, Progressive does this with their Google Action.

I'm interested in using Actions and the Assistant to create dynamic dialog for a video game.
Specifically I would want players to be able to speak (literally) to characters and for the characters responses to be determined by Actions, just like the Assistant.
Is there any version of the Assistant available that can be integrated into a game? As far as I can see they offer a lot of the building block services to developers, through the cloud, but nothing as fully featured as Google Assistant
Sounds like a cool scenario. Not something Actions on Google supports directly, but if you want to experiment, you could use the Google Assistant SDK to host the Assistant in your game and respond to queries that are meant for your players.

Love to see what you come up with.
It pretty much comes down to which Framework you use when building your game. If you use Unity for instance, you can use API.AI's Unity SDK.
There are also a lot of other SDKs provided. I don't think you really have to include the complete Google Assistant SDK, since you most likely will want to write your own responses (?). Some SDKs have speech recognition included, for others you will need a Speech Recignition framework, for instance Google Cloud Speech API.
I want to integrate voice detection in my iPhone app. The iPhone app allow the user to search the word by using their voice. But, i don't know a single info about Voice Recognition in iPhone. Can you please suggest me any ideas,tutorials or sample code for this?
You can also use Google Chrome API to integrate voice recognition on your application, but there is a big problem : the API works only with FLAC encoded files, but this encoding isn't supported natively on iOS... :/
You can see those 2 links for more information :

EDIT :
I realized an application including voice recognition using Nuance SDK, but it's not free to use. You can register for free and get a developer key that allows you to test your application for 90-days. An application example is included, you can see the code, it's very easy to implement.
Good luck :)
The best approach will probably be to:
Record the voice on the phone
Send the recording to a server that runs the speech recognition software
Then return something to the phone to indicate what it should do
This approach is favorable as there are a number of open source voice to text softwares out there & you are not limited by computing power in the backend.
Having said that, iOS has OpenEars which is based on Pocket Sphinx. It looks promising...
Well voice recognition is not correlated with iphone. All you can do is record the voice in iphone. Once done, you can either code your one voice recognition module, or find a third party API and reuse it.
You can do google search on that.
I am working on a project where I have to record a voice covert into text then match the pattern and according to the user command perform action.
I am able to to record voice of the user through AVAudioRecorder and perform action. But the actions are perform on anything what user says. I want to perform on user's particular word like if he say play then playing should start.
Help me by any tutorial or any sample code.
Thanks in Advance
Most apps (including Siri) send the sound file to a remote data center via to do the speech recognition, which involves some fairly heavy duty processing. Nuance may have an commercial API.
Another option might be to try using the CMU OpenEars or PocketSphinx speech library, which has been ported to the iPhone. Also look at VocalKit and this article on running PocketSphinx on the iPhone.
Plz, go Through my Previous question?
Voice Recognition in iPhone?
Ok Now my Current question is as below.
It seems very hard to build my own voice recognition code - in iPhone.
Is it possible to use google's voice recognition in our software,
like when user wants to search a student by voice
=>voice is recorded & searched by google
=>& it respond to my application,
ok. I understand my question is quite confusing.
However plz leave comment for me for correction.
Thanks in advance for helping me out.
Google's iPhone app does not do voice recognition on the phone, it records the audio, and then sends it to Google's servers which do the analysis. Some day Google may make webservices available to allow you to send generic clips and get back search results, but to my knowledge they do not provide anything like that at this time.
Since Google does not provide any API for their Voice Recognition the answer would seem to be no.
I have seen many application doing voice recognition on the iphone.
I have already gone through the following questions of stackoverflow:
-iPhone App › Add voice recognition?
-can we do voice calling in the iphone?
However I couldn't find sufficient knowledge.
I have to develop an application which should have following functionality:
=>Store list of students in database => i can do
=>Retrieve in to tableView => i can do
=>Find student by voice recognition => dont know how?**
I don't know how to do the voice recognition part, can you guide me to correct way?
How to record a voice & search student accordingly?
Thanks in advance.
Look again at the answer to this question. Particularly:
Apple has not opened up any APIs to access voice dialing (or any of the other voice controlling features) to third party developers.
However, if you want to create your own voice recognition algorithms this can be done.
You need to do it yourself somehow.
The other question you linked to has some good suggestions on that.
If you want to do it using a third party tool for voice recognition,
