Time:
Thursday, 10:40am - 11:30am
Abstract:
Learn how you can use speech recognition effectively on mobile platforms. We'll discuss what is speech recognition, go over the current state of the W3C Web Speech API specification including which which vendor's have implemented pieces of the specification. Learn how to smooth over those inconsistencies and contrast this with the native implementation of speech recognition on Android and iOS. Live demo's on how to use speech recognition for dictation, querying the web for answers and translating English to other languages will be performed with full source code available after the presentation.
We'll go over the native options on Android and iOS and delve into the web options.
Simon has over fifteen years of development experience and has worked
on a variety of projects including object oriented databases, police
communication systems, speech recognition and unified messaging. His
current focus is building a secure version of Android, bringing speech
recognition to the masses and enabling developers to create cross
platform mobile applications using Web technologies. Simon's been
building web applications since the days they were written using shell
scripts and he still has nightmares about those dark days. @macdonst
