If you don't want to use the RecognizerIntent to do speech recognition, you could still use the SpeechRecognizer class to do it. However, using that class is a little bit more tricky than using the intent. As a final note, I would highly suggest to let the user know when he is recorded, otherwise he might be very set up, when he finally finds out.
Edit: A small example inspired (but changed) from,
SpeechRecognizer causes ANR... I need help with Android speech API
Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_CALLING_PACKAGE,
"com.domain.app");
SpeechRecognizer recognizer = SpeechRecognizer
.createSpeechRecognizer(this.getApplicationContext());
RecognitionListener listener = new RecognitionListener() {
@Override
public void onResults(Bundle results) {
ArrayList<String> voiceResults = results
.getStringArrayList(SpeechRecognizer.RESULTS_RECOGNITION);
if (voiceResults == null) {
System.out.println("No voice results");
} else {
System.out.println("Printing matches: ");
for (String match : voiceResults) {
System.out.println(match);
}
}
}
@Override
public void onReadyForSpeech(Bundle params) {
System.out.println("Ready for speech");
}
