So I've searched far and wide for some sort of solution to the issue regarding removing Google's Voice Recognition UI dialog when a user wants to perform a Voice Command but have been unable to find any solution. I am trying to implement an app which displays a menu to the user and the user can either click on the options or say the options out loud which will open the new pages. So far ive been unable to implement this unless I use Googles RecognizerIntent but I dont want the dialog box to pop up. Anyone have any ideas? Or has anyone solved this issue or found a workaround? Thanks
EDIT: As a compromise maybe there is a way to move the dialog to the bottom of the screen while still being able to view my menu?
Does How can I use speech recognition without the annoying dialog in android phones help?
I'm pretty sure the Nuance/Dragon charges for production or commercial applications that use their services. If this is just a demo, you may be fine with the developer account. Android speech services are free for all Android applications.
