Google have quietly removed the speech.recognition package from the Android API. I say quietly: the removal is noted in the API Diff specification for M3-RC37a to M5-RC14, released 15th Feb, but I haven’t been able to find any more public announcements - for example, it wasn’t mentioned in the m5-rc-14 release announcement.

Trefnydd is an open-source toolkit for building speech recognition engines. Tools support the compilation of corpora and pronunciation dictionaries, creation of acoustic and language models, and generation of speech recognition engines compatible with the Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP). Trefnydd can be used either via its GUI, or by incorporating the tools directly into your […]
The Android SDK and documentation came up late yesterday and already this morning there were a thousand messages on the Android Developers discussion group. I’ve had a quick look and here are my first impressions:

Google Alerts just told me about this new(-ish: it started up on the 11th) blog, called just ‘Speech Recognition‘. It’s a non-technical blog covering ASR in healthcare, written by Claire Betis, a Marketing Manager for Crescendo Systems Corp.
