I want to build an application where user when talks something on iphone it will convert into corresponding text.
I heard in windows platform it is possible.
Wheather this is possible in iphone ? Any API available for this ?
I used Nuance’s Dragon Speech SDK for this purpose.
Its free for developers and their SDK have a sample project for STT and TTS both.
Tried Speech to text using this SDK on iOS 9 and it works like a charm.
Here is the link.
https://developer.nuance.com/public/Help/DragonMobileSDKReference_iOS/SpeechKit_Guide/RecognizingSpeech.html
Limitations:
60 seconds recording time limit.
Recorded audio file is not accessible.
Pauses taken are detected as end of recording.
There's an app for that.
Search for "Dragon Speech".
The question has been asked a lot of times here already, this being one of these questions that received quite a few answers and good ideas.
There is no API for doing speech to text on the iPhone, but you can record the voice on the phone, send the recording to a server that runs the speech recognition software on Windows or whatever OS suits you best, then return the text results back to the phone.
It is possible on the iPhone. Pocketsphinx has been ported. For example, an app called cactus dialer uses pocketsphinx. No API has been published but its not hard to get it built. Many people have.
For full blown dictation it will be hard. You will need to make it server based like Nuance's 'dragon speech' does or accept a smaller vocabulary.

I ran into this problem in Safari where it appears that WebRTC is not fully supported. So when I call
navigator.webkitGetuserMedia()
I get an undefined error.
So my question to the community is what is the best way to write a Meteor app that captures Video on a mobile device and saves it on the said device.
If you have done this, I would appreciate it very much if you could share with me and the community how you went about this.
Specific Answer
The modern API is: navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia(constraints). See the docs here.
In the past, I've been unsuccessful with getUserMedia on iOS, but according to this post it can be done on iOS 11.
As for saving it, you can write to the browser's file system, but that API is only supported in Chrome. If you want to write to the camera roll, you'd need native code in the mix.
General Advice
I've spent several years of my life dealing with recording, uploading, and processing video using meteor. If you are doing anything more than trivial web recording, these observations may save you some time:
Chrome (on everything but iOS) has the best API for web recording. If you can require chrome for recording, that's ideal. Firefox is a close second, only because it doesn't support the file system API.
If you need to record and upload long videos on iOS, build a native app. Don't consider any kind of hybrid - that's a serious trap. The number of corner cases and things you need to check is pretty astounding, and the only way to get over those hurdles is with native code.
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.
In my program I have some recorded voice. After that I need to recognition it, for example: I launched program, saying something, and when program received word that have been recorded it shows UIAlertView. Anybody knows any sdk or example code? Thanks..
Hope the below link will helpful for you. They will also provide sample app for recognizing sounds. Download it and try it.
Ispeech SDK
Please note that ispeech does not perform natural voice recognition and the advertising materials are very misleading. The voice recognition piece of iSpeech requires a set vocabulary similar to the open source (and free) OpenEars SDK.
Nuance recently updated their developer program to give mobile developers limited free access to their speech recognition servers. Look at http://dragonmobile.nuancemobiledeveloper.com/public/index.php
If you don't want to use network to transfer audio, try OpenEars, the library for embedded speech recognition on 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.
