voice-overlay-ios

Why we included this project

iOS developers who want voice input usually end up writing the same permission and recording boilerplate. This library wraps Apple's SFSpeechRecognizer in a ready-made overlay that asks for microphone and speech recognition access, points users to Settings when they've denied it, and hands back recognized text through a callback or delegate. You can restyle the listening screen, control when it starts and stops, set a silence timeout, or plug in your own speech engine by conforming to the Recordable protocol. It works well with Algolia's InstantSearch, but it also stands alone in any Swift or Objective-C app, so it's a reasonable drop-in for search boxes, note-taking, or any conversational interface.
