So got a project to make an application for blind people and decided to make it in android. The application is really simple, maybe something like this:

1. User press the button and say a word (ex: Ja - Pan)
2. The program search in database and find a data labeled Japan
3. The program plays the data that had been searched
   the data in here is basically an audio

I heard that android already has it's own Speech recognition but it need to be online

1. is there any way to make it offline and read my database not google database ?
2. if not, are there any source code about speech recognition so i can learn from it?
3. how to input sound in database? so far i only know how to input text in SQLight

I really need a help in here btw I'm from indonesia....nice to meet you all :D

  • Check [Pocketsphinx on android](http://cmusphinx.sourceforge.net/wiki/tutorialandroid), it has few advantages over google: ability to activate search by voice, no need to press keyboard button, ability to specify the list of words to search for, offline function. As for storing sound in a database, there is no need in that, you can just store the files in filesystem. Though storage of binary data in database is also perfectly possible. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9395755/error-while-inserting-blob-data-into-sqlite-on-android – Nikolay Shmyrev Apr 23 '14 at 11:53
