Say It Ain't So: Implementing Speech Recognition in your app by Marc Brown

Bio: Marc is the Mobile Engineering Manager at Blue Apron and has been building iOS apps since 2009. Previously he worked for Etsy and a handful of startups.

Abstract: Sirikit was one of the more talked about features announced at WWDC this year; unfortunately its initial implementation is limited to a small number of use cases. But all is not lost! Apple introduced a collection of general purpose Speech APIs in iOS 10 that provide simple speech-to-text conversion from streaming voice or audio files in over 50 languages. In this talk, I will walk through the new API's, discuss its limitations and end with providing a practical use case by adding speech recognition to a text-based search app.
