Freeform handwriting on iOS - iphone

I would like to put handwriting as a text input to my project.
Is there any existing code or libraries that will help me accomplish this?
If not, is there an iPhone 4 has handwriting option like the chinese keyboard, which has handwriting tools, but in English?
As I did some research, I couldn't find anything, maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places? Can somebody help me?
If possible, I would like the input delay to be less than a second, but a half of a second would be preferable.

There is no handwriting recognition for the english language on iOS.
As for the delay - that's because the system needs to make calculations for the recognition - so no, there's nothing you can do about it.

VoiceOver : can I adapt different voices tones in swift?

I'm making a french app in accessibility and I'd like to use some english terms using VoiceOVer.
For that purpose, I decided to use the accessibilityAttributedLabel introduced in iOS 11 with [UIAccessibilitySpeechAttributeLanguage:"en"] only for english terms.
My problem is that french and english voices tones are quite different and that doesn't sound very well.
Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the voices tones programmatically in this case ?
FYI, I found a workaround by translating all the sentence in phonetics using the UIAccessibilitySpeechAttributeIPANotation key.
I do not think you can change the voice tones, sorry

Unity Custom Voice Recognition

I'm am working on a Unity app that needs custom voice recognition. By custom I mean I cant have them be English or any known language. I want to teach the engine basically new words like gibberish words I made up and I need the voice recognition to recognize them, any ideas? Also I need it to work on both iOS/Android.
Thank you in advance.

How to Translate Text of an Image in Real Time With iPhone Camera?

I am working on an app that needs to translate the text of an image in realtime with the iphone camera.Is there any way to implement it? any sdk or tutorial will be helpful.
My suggestion would be a combination of the following:
The open-source Tesseract OCR engine for getting the text from the image(Quite recent iOS wrapper here: https://github.com/ldiqual/tesseract-ios)
One of the translation services discussed in this question for translations: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6151668/alternative-to-google-translate-api
E.g. a tutorial like this on how to get a real-time camera view with overlays: http://www.musicalgeometry.com/?p=1273
Please note that these are just ideas on how to do this with as fast progress as possible.
Some apps that offer real-time translations even try to find a suitable font and display the translated text at the exact same position as the original text was. I am afraid that this is not possible without investing lots of work and developing your own OCR engine.
Hope this helps.

iOS OpenEars not recognizing accurate sound

I want to implement an speech recognition feature in my iPhone app by research i came to know about OpenEars library and i downloaded that and got a sample project along with it i got a sample project,when i run it and if i say "hello" it is returning as "you said LEFT",i tried for many word combinations but i'm getting only Left,Right,Down,Forward & etc certain set of responses. Is this a bug in openears? if so is there any way to correct this?
Any help is appreciated in advance.Thank you.
Take a look at Using OpenEars In Your App
There's a corpus.txt file in your example which allows it to recognize only:
GO
FORWARD
BACKWARD
LEFT
RIGHT
START
STOP
TURN
You can add other words or even phrases though.

Android/iPhone Image parsing

I wanted to write an Android and/or an iPhone app that entails taking a picture of something (right now, I just want to limit to text) after which the app parses the text to make use of it. For example, perhaps taking picture of a sentence (or may be just fragments) will be then parsed by the app to bring up more information about the book. Title, author, ISBN etc. And even may be information about other books that are similar in content to this book.
Is this possible to do something like this? Is there an API that exists already that parses the content of an image? How is an image stored in Android and iPhone? Is it possible to implement the app in one platform and not the other?
I'd appreciate any input or advice that you guys have to offer. Thank you!
You're looking for this, possibly.
It's called OCR, or Optical Character Recognition.
