AOSP 7.1.1 Speech Recognizer Availability

[aosp.b...@gmail.com]

Hi all, 

I've built the AOSP 7.1.1 and I've noticed in the emulator that in the Language and Input menu, on the Speech part only the Text to Speech item is available. This makes me think that the speech recognizer is not present in AOSP. Can anyone confirm my hypothesis ? Is there an official Google documentation related to this topic ? (I would prefer the official documentation or an official answer as it is easier to refer to) Thank you Florin

The closest thing to "official" documentation for AOSP is https://source.android.com/

But that only documents what is in AOSP, not what is not in AOSP. :-)

There is also the AOSP API documentation:

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

And the source code for the AOSP API:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer.java

Note that the AOSP API is not the same as a service that implements the guts behind the API.

There are also proprietary (non-AOSP) APIs for speech recognition

available from Google and other parties, but I will not describe those here

since proprietary services are off-topic for the android-building discussion group.

A web search should locate those.
