I have looked through the web and not found any information about if the Google Glass will have speech recognition in other languages than English? Like Google Now for example has a fine working recognition for Swedish.
Or do I need to implement some third-party recognition myself?
If anyone in the Google Glass Team has this info, this would be nice to know!
Thanx
Joakim
I'm not on the team, but the usual response is that the focus right now is the US only and that they don't comment on future plans.
There are a lot of legal/regulatory issues to deal with before Glass can be supported in other countries, and they're still dealing with those issues in the US. They have demonstrated Glass to non-US government leaders, but not announced any formal support in those countries.
It is certainly expected that they will support Glass internationally, just like they support other products where possible, but that there is no indication when that support will be available.
I have used this to implement speech recognition on Google Glasses:

Easy to implement and to start with.

I have a multilanguage agent which is integrated with Hangouts chat and Google Cloud Platform. Do you know any easy way to switch languages during conversation? Fe. at the beginning of talk, you can choose your default language for this session? Or maybe you have any other ideas how to do that?
Thank you!
I'm currently using the url below,
If the language is ko, the male voice, if en, only the female voice.
I want to unify it with a female voice.

- http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&total=1&idx=0&textlen=32&client=tw-ob&q=hello%20world%20&tl=ko
What should I do?
The similar questions to change tts voice from male to female or the other way around have been asked numerous times. Unfortunately, Google doesn't support this yet.
There are many existing requests already on Google Translate Forum:

You can follow any existing post or create a new one if you wish.
So I'm doing something similar to you and found a great tutorial from mdn with a GitHub repo I know it's not from google's API but you can use it for web apps and then use Google's API as a fullback https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/web-speech-api/speak-easy-synthesis/
I've searched Mapbox's API and have tested a few popular places, but can't seem to get correct results for geocoded street intersections. Does Mapbox's API have the capability to geocode intersections that's not documented? Is there a definitive answer or should I assume it's not possible (yet) and investigate other options, like MapQuest or Google?
Mapbox's Geocoding API does not support intersections at the moment. The feature request is being tracked on GitHub.
https://github.com/mapbox/carmen/issues/349
Intersections are not supported as of March 2016. I'll update this post if anything changes, but it doesn't sound like it's being actively developed from the response below ("working on potentially adding it").
Email response from MapBox support:
Supporting intersections is something that is not available at this time. The team is aware of it and is working on potentially adding it in the future. You can follow the progress here.

Google Chrome provide speech to text(STT) and So many smart phone apps provide STT. It has good recognition.
I want program in Visual Studio(MFC), But there's no methods to do STT. If I use Google Speech To Text Api, It's so easy to settle this problem.
If there's no public google api about STT, Tell me another way to this except with start.
To my knowledge, Google has not documented their speech API and do not intend it to be used by general purpose clients. I believe their intent is for the speech API to support their Android and Chrome products. That said, there is more information at Does Anyone Uses Google Speech API in Production? and Is there an API for Google's speech recognition technology?.
Since you're programming for Windows, why don't you use the built in Windows speech engine. You can use the System.Speech features of .Net or Microsoft.Speech and install the free recognizers Microsoft provides. Windows 7 includes a full speech engine. Others are downloadable for free. There is a C++ API to the same engines known as SAPI. See at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163663.aspx. or http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms723627(v=vs.85).aspx. More background on Microsoft engines for Windows
What is the difference between System.Speech.Recognition and Microsoft.Speech.Recognition?
One last link that I hope is helpful, here is a simple example of speech recogntion in .NET - SAPI and Windows 7 Problem
You may find this: https://gist.github.com/alotaiba/1730160 useful. Basically you need to send FLAC-encoded audio file to google servers in POST request. Be aware that it accept only audio files of 15 seconds of less (for simple voice command app it would be enough).
I'm looking into thing like this and MS Speech API isn't for me, even if is good, because it doesn't support most languages Google's API does (example being Polish, same for MS text-to-speech).
Can anyone point me to some decent introductions to WS-Security?
I'm looking for tutorials or something that provide a fairly gentle introduction to the subject, though I don't mind if it assumes basic knowledge of web services and SOAP. Most of the stuff I've seen so far is very technical and you need a lot of complex, detailed background knowledge to understand it properly.
We have to implement a web service in PHP and one or more clients in .NET, so resources covering both would be much appreciated.
I think the best introduction to the (any) subject are some good examples.
This article at codeProject gives a fairly easy to follow guide trough web service security for a .NET application.
I had to give myself a crash course in WS-Security a few months back, here are a few links that I found helpful:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-security.html
http://www.devx.com/security/Article/15634
http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/28816
Check Kirk Evans' blog as it deals with the .NET Framework 2.0+ instead of the old .NET Framework 1.0 linked by Sven.
The implementation on Evans' blog is backwards compatible with clients running .NET Frameowrk 1.0.
You can find some good article on WS-Security and Apache Rampart - the open source WS-Security implementation - in WSO2 Online Library.
WSO2 WSF/PHP is a PHP Web services extension that has support for WS-Security and also interops with .NET Web services/clients seamlessly.
