folks:


Just discovered Frotz for iOS. Thanks for the great work!

Has there been any thought to using a local speech to text API for the
command control input to the games.

Live long and Hack Well,

I have considered it, actually, and researched some open source speech
recognition APIs.
Unfortunately the libraries tend to be kind of large (storage
footprint) and only give so-so results. Since voice recognition is
now built-in to the iPhone 4S and all future iOS-based products are
likely to support it, it may not be worth the effort to try to put it
into Frotz. Haven't ruled it out altogether, though.
