speech_to_text

A library that exposes device specific speech recognition capability.

Contents

Plugin

This project has the code for the plugin on multiple native platforms including iOS, Android and the web.

Platform Interface

This project defines the behaviour required on each host platform. To implement the plugin for a new platform the behaviour of this interface is implemented on that platform. See the docs here for a description of the approach.

Example apps

The main example app included with the plugin shows basic use of the plugin.

In addition there is a Provider example that shows how to use the plugin as a Flutter Provider.

These examples work only with the plugin source checked out because their dependency is on a relative path, not the pub.dev version.
