[Android][Development] Sid

[Makarov]

I've been developing a new application for Android after purchasing my market license. As you all know my last application wasn't the best, but it was really just a point in which I was testing my feet in the android development water. Well.. let's get to the point of this application. Sid is basically Siri for Android. It has similar features and a similar UI. At the moment it uses Google's voice api with no alterations so the voice recognition is sometimes a bit off. Here's a list of what it can do as of now.

Sid can..

1. Define words for you
2. Setup a call with someone for you
3. Text someone for you
4. Tell you the weather within your area
5. Can search google for you

Later on Sid will..

1. Memorize your name!
2. Take notes for you
3. Give you directions to a location
4. Wait for some ideas from you RaGEZONE'rs

What i'm adding to Sid right now..- A database manager so he can do most of those actions.

I would like to beta testers to give ideas and point out quirks so if you would like a pre-alpha build say so in a reply here.

Some screens!







Yeah, so once it's atleast in the beta stages I'll publish it free onto the market.. For now I would just like some dedicated beta testers.

Any comments on the application?

None of them are really authentic, nor do any sort of job correctly.

I was playing around with windows speech recognition and god it's awful.
Which library are you using? The one that comes with android of other?

And good job on project. Maybe one day android will have voice commands that actually work.

Before I decided to start this project, I played around with that. I'm using Google's Voice Actions which isn't great itself. I had to improve the recognition by taking commonly mis-recognized phrases and replacing them with what really needed to be there..

Anyway, here's the apk download link: http://www.mediafire.com/?aae7vmwmeon534v

I decided to just let anyone who wants it download and install. Here's a list of commands to get you going with testing..

My name is..
What is my name?
Google..
What is the weather like..
What country do I live in..
Text {name}..
Call {name}..
Clear this please.

Soz, really wanted to test it for you but it gives me an FC on start up.

2.1+, Works fine on my phone..

EDIT: I see the problem.. uploading the updated package.

Ok, somehow the database creation got corrupted.. going to run a simple fix and re-package to see if it'll return back to normal.

Sorry for the wait, RaGEZONE - Sid Pre Alpha - MMORPG Server Files

I had to re-write my whole database class.. write a database helper class and then re-write the name set and check. It's all good now.

Dw lol, just take your time ^^,

Thanks for the update =].

I don't think SAPI is that bad actually, if you do it correctly it will work very well in fact... You just have to set it up correctly as well so it recognizes your voice better. What version were you using?
