ehzhang / dispatch Goto Github PK

Hey Edwin!

I was one of the students who attended the Meteor 2015 hackathon where you presented Dispatch (I was from team pluto, if that still means anything).

If I remember correctly, you mentioned during your presentation that you were able to somehow access the native speech to text functionality on an iOS device (if I'm not mistaken you were using an iPad during the presentation). I'm curious to know, how were you able to achieve this? From what I've read, Cordova isn't able to access siri on iOS, and as such I have been relying on an external api (e.g google speech) to carry out speech recognition.

I've been trying to get rid of the google speech dependency but have yet to find a good alternative. Native speech recognition sounds promising, but I took a look through your code and can't seem to locate where you implemented the feature. Do you think you could give me some pointers regarding this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
