Show HN: Voice Overlay for iOS and Android Apps

15 pointsby ndessaigneover 6 years ago
We&#x27;re seeing at Algolia a lot of developers implementing speech to text in their mobile apps, but didn&#x27;t see much in the way of tooling to help them do it. So we set out to fix it, and wanted to release it not just for our users, but for any devs who want to do this.<p>iOS&#x2F;Swift: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;algolia&#x2F;voice-overlay-ios&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;algolia&#x2F;voice-overlay-ios&#x2F;</a> Android&#x2F;Kotlin: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;algolia&#x2F;voice-overlay-android&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;algolia&#x2F;voice-overlay-android&#x2F;</a><p>We wanted to take away the boilerplate necessary and leave the UI and other customizations in place.<p>We&#x27;ve been looking forward to sharing this with the HN community and getting your feedback!

I don’t know about Android, but standard iOS text controls allow for using voice input, and I’m pretty sure iOS has a voice recognition API as well. So, is this just a UI library?

The Android version looks like a really bad iOS port, complete with double permission prompts, ridiculously loud colours, and excessive gradients.

Hey there, im a PO of web apps. How can this make my life (or my users) easier or simpler ? I understand that this is for native apps, but is this coming to web also ?
