Android: Speech recognition methods

So I'm writing a new app, in which I need to recognize a few words. I would like to know what method you recommend I use to meet these two requirements:

  • I need the app to recognize roughly 50 words. Simple words like "blue", "red", "save", etc.
  • It has to be done without the use of the Internet to access a server of some sort

From my research so far, it seems CMUSphinx is the best option.

Ideally, I would also like to make an app with a similar backend as a desktop application too (preferably Java based). As I understand it, CMUSphinx can achieve both my needs using PocketSphinx for my mobile app.

So what do you guys think would work best in my situation? Thank you.

Solution

  • CMUSpinx I think looks good. Note http://www.politepix.com/openears/ is also based on CMUSphinx a strong indicator. However if there is a C++ library you could use NDK to run on Android but unlikely it would be better than CMUSphinx.
