Yes, this works moderately well. I tinkered with it. One thing I personally found is that I needed to pad my sound file with at least 50ms of silence at the beginning, otherwise Google came up with some really goofy translations on the first couple of words. -MC
If that helps.. can we get sox to easily add that 50ms at the beginning while it converts the file..? Someone know the code for that? Currently, the command is just "sox $file_name.wav $file_name.flac rate 16k" That said, I've had a few good/great transcriptions, and whole bunch of worthless ones. -Avi On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 11:18 PM, Michael Collins <msc@freeswitch.org>wrote:

Siri itself is not available on Android. There was an app that claimed to be Siri for Android, published by 'Official App' but it was taken down by Google. It was reported to be using Google's API. Google's API for transcription from what I can se is supposed to be used for Android OS only. It's not really clear if it can be used for other purposes. Sirius doesn't have an external API for us to use (no surprise there) and it most likely is using Nuance for transcription. I've tried out the script on a few vm files I have. It doesn't really work well for mobile calls. It worked extremely well on some pre recorded messages I made (the number you have reached is not in service...) and it worked really well. Maybe Google likes me? -BD On Jan 12, 2012 10:25 PM, "Robert-IPhone" <rhuddleston@gmail.com> wrote:

It think it's because of the acoustic model they used. Somebody explained me that, for example, Siri's recognition accuracy is not optimal when you try to recognize the speech from a phone conversation (8khz audio), and that is because of the acoustic model they've used to train the grammar.
