Hello all, I am developing an application using Xamarin on an MC67 that is now running KitKat. It seems that all of the Google voice recognition apis are missing? Were they not including in the KitKat image that was supplied? How do I utilize speech or voice recognition services on this device? According to the Play store (which is also not available on this device) the current api is com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox in fact, if you go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.google… you will see the api I was hoping would be installed here.
So, three questions:
1. Is it installed and I am just not seeing it?
2. If it is not installed, can I install it manually (remembering that Google Play is not on the device).
3. If numbers 1 and 2 are no, is there another app/utility/api that CAN be used on this device to enable voice recognition integration? Specifically, I am looking to do speech to text.
Thanks!
Mike

Hi,
The voice recognition API is part of the Google Mobile Services (GMS).
The MC67 is based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) and doesn't come with GMS.
So answers to 1. and 2. are "no".
Hi Mike, I'm with Keen Research, we are a Zebra ISV partner. We develop SDKs for on-device speech recognition for mobile devices. I'd be happy to connect and provide more details. Here is our site:
