Voice Control
asked 2014-01-02 23:18:35 +0200
Are there any plans for integration of voice control application for Sailfish OS?
I would like an app that recognizes speech and supports text to speech with features such as dialing a contact, searching Internet, writing a email or text message, updating status of a social network (facebook, twitter, LinkedIn), searching for directions using the Maps app showing a weather forecast, etc. Something like Siri for iOS :)
Thanks, Leon
EDIT
Could someone (official) answer this question: Are there any plans of a voice control application?
Onboard or offboard? As far as I know, Google voice and Apple's Siri are offboard, i.e. all voice is transmitted to their servers. Do we want this? Or is it something, people accept (for certain texts) as trade in for the convenience it brings? (Voice recogntn. onboard is probably not yet in reach.)

Most probably the voice recognition at the moment will be done on remote servers so some users might not use the app due to security issues but it's OK for me :)
