is there a way to use speech recognition in an Iionic 2 Project? All I came across are possibilities for Ionic 1 like in this post Speech recognition using ionic framework . Ionic 2 already provides a native API for Text to Speech http://ionicframework.com/docs/v2/native/texttospeech/ but I would need it the other way round.

Answer 1

Better question to ask yourself is, is there a cordova plugin for the thing I want?
And yes there are cordova plugins available.

Just instead of using cordova plugin add ..... use ionic plugin add ...... (will immediately update platforms).

Answer 2

You can use this Cordova plugin for speech recognition cordova-plugin-tts
Since Ionic 2 uses TypeScript ,all you need is a way to use the plugin with TypeScript .The Github repo includes an example on how to do that
declare module TTS {
interface IOptions {
/** text to speak */
text: string;
/** a string like 'en-US', 'zh-CN', etc */
locale?: string;
/** speed rate, 0 ~ 1 */
rate?: number;
}
function speak(options: IOptions, onfulfilled: () => void, onrejected: (reason) => void): void;
function speak(text: string, onfulfilled: () => void, onrejected: (reason) => void): void;
}
