Talk

#Talk An easy to use Android library with a fluent interface to integrate voice interaction into your Application.

##Demo Application ###Screenshot ###Download

##Getting Started ###Add the library as dependency Add the library as dependency to your build.gradle file.

dependencies {
 //other dependencies...
 compile 'com.pddstudio:talk:1.0.0'
}

###Initialize the library Implement the Talk.Callback interface and initialize Talk in your Activities onCreate() method.

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //initialize Talk lib
        Talk.init(this, this);
}

###Create and add your voice commands Each voice command is represented as a SpeechObject in the library. You can create and add as much SpeechObjects as you like.

Assuming you want to let your application react on the word Hello you have to create a SpeechObject which will represent this word.

private SpeechObject helloObject = new SpeechObject() {
        @Override
        public void onSpeechObjectIdentified() {
            //handle action here in case the word is recognized
        }

        @Override
        public String getVoiceString() {
            return "hello";
        }
    };

After creating your SpeechObject instances you can add them to Talk to let it react on them

//add the speech objects (you can add one or more at once)
        Talk.getInstance().addSpeechObjects(helloObject);

###Start Listening Assuming you have a button on which you want to start listening for voice input you simply trigger the startListening() method in the button's onClickListener.

listenBtn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.listenBtn);
        listenBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
  //make sure to check permission on Android 6.0
                if(hasPermission()) {
                    Talk.getInstance().startListening();
                } else {
                    requestPermission();
                }
            }
        });
