LiveCode Forums.

Hi there,

Due to the AI boom, there is a growing preference for interacting with AI through voice rather than typing. This capability is already available in Android and iOS platforms. However, I'm unsure if Livecode has plans to implement Speech-to-Text functionality in the future.

Is there any information available regarding Livecode's current capability or future plans for implementing this feature?

Well, I am usiing OS capabilities to turn speech into text which will appear in a field. You may define keywords that can then be recognised in the text and that may initiate scripts. I do not know how better speech recognition could be implemented. Even in talking with any other program, the input from the speech engine is text, I suppose. I assume, LC will not reinvent a speech engine as such.

Hi golife,

That is exactly what I was looking for , but I don't know how to use an IOS capability if is not available in LC. I know there are some really good JAVA developer who can make the JNI and make the connection to the OS, but this is not the case, So, What I did is to save the the voice to a file and use Whisper from from OpenAI.com to transcribe the voice file to a text. Right now whisper is free of charge an it does a very good job. the down side of it is the speed. But it works and I was able to do the prototype.

I guess I will have to use flutter or something else for the final project.
