Voice recognition on android with recorded sound clip?

Viewed 35203

I've used the voice recognition feature on Android and I love it. It's one of my customers' most praised features. However, the format is somewhat restrictive. You have to call the recognizer intent, have it send the recording for transcription to google, and wait for the text back.

Some of my ideas would require recording the audio within my app and then sending the clip to google for transcription.

Is there any way I can send an audio clip to be processed with speech to text?

Unfortunately not at this time. The only interface currently supported by Android's voice recognition service is the RecognizerIntent, which doesn't allow you to provide your own sound data.

If this is something you'd like to see, file a feature request at http://b.android.com. This is also tangentially related to existing issue 4541.
