My PhoneGap Day US Talk on Speech Recognition

Back in July I went out to Portland to talk at PhoneGap Day US. The video has just become available so I figured I would post it up here. The talk I did at PhoneGap Day EU is very similar to this one with a bit of updated information and mostly new jokes.

I finally made time to listen to this - great job! The iOS version should be easier now that iOS 7 has been released. It has speech apis, although I haven't played with them yet.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I think my talk at PG Day EU went even better as I had more practice.

Yes, iOS 7 introduces the speech synthesis (TTS) portion of the Web Speech API which makes life a little easier with regards to the plugin development.

Hi Simon,

Would you like to see my phonegap blog and make any comments? It's about phonegap app architecture.

I already follow your blog and will comment on posts when I have the time.

Love the talk. Don't really have a use for it at the moment, but I was wondering what happened to the iOS side of these plugins?

I went to work for a start up and was devoting most of my waking hours to it. I just joined Adobe 2 weeks ago to work on PhoneGap/Cordova full time so I will be resurrecting this soon.
