For example, I would like to build an app to remind me to pick up a kid from daycare. I'd like to touch a button inside the app and dictate instructions that "Daycare closes at 3pm tomorrow" and I can then process the text rather than making them select from pulldowns. Is this possible in some iOS kit?

A speech recognition API is shipping with Xcode 8.

You can download the beta build now or wait till it ships this fall.

  • My understanding was that SiriKit if for triggering an app via Siri and is only for certain domains like booking a ride. I just want to use the voice-to-text feature inside a running app. – Nic Cottrell Jun 22 '16 at 13:52
  • I think that's actually right. However it looks like they are shipping a speech recognition API separate from SiriKit. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2016/509/ an example project: https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/content/samplecode/SpeakToMe/Introduction/Intro.html – Richmond Watkins Jun 22 '16 at 13:53
  • Ah, perfect! Thanks for that link – Nic Cottrell Jun 22 '16 at 13:54
