Kõnele

Kõnele is an Android app that offers speech-to-text services to other apps. Its main components are:

a voice search panel (i.e. a RecognizerIntent activity)
two implementations of SpeechRecognizer, backed by two open source speech recognition servers
- https://github.com/alumae/kaldi-gstreamer-server
- https://github.com/alumae/ruby-pocketsphinx-server
a speech keyboard that implements the input method editor (IME) API

The diagram below shows Kõnele's main components in yellow, while the standard Android interfaces via which other apps can interact with Kõnele are in green.

The main goals of this project is to offer support for Estonian speech recognition on the Android platform, as well as grammar-based speech recognition for voice command applications.

How to add support for other languages than Estonian is detailed in Kaljurand#38
