I am making an app in which I want to implement the concept of Siri/Voice recognition. I have tried this but did not get the output exactly it is not recognizing the word properly. Anyone has an idea that how to convert speech into text? How to access Siri functionality. If anyone know about this implementation then please let me know.
Thanks to all.
You can't access Siri interface directly but there is nice trick to deal with Siri commands. You can implement UITextField and capture text which will be written there by Siri, that way you can make your app executing spoken commands.
You can find more explanation for that subject here:
Siri trick
You can't access Siri features, Apple didn't provide public API for Siri :-S .
The best APIs I've seen is the openears and Dragon Mobile SDK.

Is it possible to ask Siri to push buttons in the app with the text to speech?
I mean, I have a calculator and pushing the button of "dictation" Siri should be able to understand to push + button instead of just write inside the lable the text.
Thank you!
Siri cannot be used inside apps. Moreover, you can only use Siri for handling intents that are part of the SiriKit framework, which is quite limited at the moment.
VoiceOver is perfectly capable of what you need to do. It was designed for navigating through an app with voice commands as part of the Accessibility framework.
The Speech framework as suggested by others is not available in watchOS and wasn't really designed for voice navigation.
You will need to use Speech framework for that. It would not be possible with Siri. You can go through Apple documentation for that.
I've checked that Siri opens third party apps such as Facebook, and I'd like to be able to open my ios app with siri as well.
I've tried saying the name of my app but it doesn't seem to work and I don't find any examples or documentations for this.
Do I need to add some code in my app to make this work?
Thanks
It depends on pronunciation and language ascent also. Everyone speaks with an accent. You may speak English with an accent from a different region in the United States. You may speak English with an accent because English is not your first language. So it could be problem in your case.
I’ll try that but it doesn’t working after that process
I am developing an app which is in swift language. In my app there are some commands to recognize and perform action on it. for eg. while speaking 'Back' the word can be recognize and performs back action on that page.
I am searched on it but can't helps me
Please provide some guide line or an help or comment will be appreciated Thanks in advance
Now that we know that the iPhone has speech to text and text to speech capabilities, as demonstrated by Siri. Is this going to be an API available to developers? Has apple said anything about this?
Apple have not said anything about an API for Siri yet. Speech to text is implemented in iOS 5 in the form of a new button on the keyboard, so you can dictate chunks of text.
iPhone has had text-to-speech since at least the 3GS. And no, they haven't said anything about exposing an API.
If it's text-to-speech you're after, you might be tempted to license Nuance's voice "Samantha", which is the same as the US Siri voice. You can get it via Nuance's API or just using OS X's say -o command if you only need TTS at compile-time.
However, doing either will result in your app being rejected by Apple for infringing their trademarks. They will reject the app even if you make no reference to Siri in the app, even if the app bears no resemblance to Siri, and even if the app is not any kind of personal assistant.
I am working on making an application that will store information, and for user convenience I'd like to make it possible for them to use Spotlight (scroll to the left until search appears on the home screen) to search for items in the app.
Is this possible, and if so, can you point me to a reference? I have had no luck in finding this, but the iPod app implements it, (Undocumented API perhaps?)
Thanks for any help with this.
This is not supported on current versions of iOS, sadly. Please file a radar asking for this!
