Re: Web apps that talk - Introduction to the Speech Synthesis API - HTML5Rocks Updates

Tal Ater — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 14:54:15 -0000

Love all the new APIs. Unfortunately Speech Recognition is a bit more complicated than Speech Synthesis...

Try annyang (https://github.com/TalAter/..., a popular Speech Recognition library, which handles all that trickiness for you. It makes speech recognition as easy as defining a voice command, and the function to run when the user says it:

annyang.addCommands({'show stats for :month': function(month) {
console.log('showing for '+month);
}});
annyang.start();

I've created a tutorial to help people who are having trouble setting up the Symfony console component as a standalone component, apart from the main Symfony framework - http://talater.com/symfony_...

It covers the initial steps which aren't covered in the documentation, such as bootstraping, and setting up the auto loading.

Make sure to also visit http:/www.GreenAnySite.com before doing your online shopping. GAS turns your shopping a little greener no matter where you shop online, by making sure a percentage of each purchase you make is donated to the environment... and best of all, it doesn't cost you a penny more.

We get the percentage from the retailers and donate all of it (100%) to the environmental organization chosen by our users that month.
