Speech Recognition in offline Mode

[Sat Kumar]

HI All,

i've a query regarding Android speech Recognition,

am using RecognizerIntent for speech to text and making a call EXTRA_PREFER_OFFLINE with true value:

in documentation:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/RecognizerIntent.html

EXTRA_PREFER_OFFLINE

Optional boolean, to be used with ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH, ACTION_VOICE_SEARCH_HANDS_FREE, ACTION_WEB_SEARCH to indicate whether to only use an offline speech recognition engine.

My question is:

1. while using extra_prefer_offline with true, with our application in online mode(i.e. accessing internet permission), as mentioned in the link "only use an offline speech recognition engine".

2. does speech recognition sends any data to server to enhance its online learning when our application is in online mode? (used extra_prefer_offline)

Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

Regards

Sathish
