In Android development I know there is offline speech recognition available from Google Now for third-party apps. I was wondering does an offline language pack/API exist for desktop applications or does such a thing exist for Android only? And yes I am aware of CMU Sphinx, Julius, the Google speech recognition API (which only has 50 uses per day) and other programs, I was just wondering. Thanks!

I'm trying to build my own Android Automotive OS on Raspberry Pi. I've been stuck on Google Automotive (Play?) Services. When opening an emulator downloaded for Android Studio, everything is there - Google Maps as a navigation app, Google Account integration, etc. However, when building (an emulator or an image for my board) from sources, there is nothing. I'm looking for a way to add Google services to my image, to build from scratch on OS similar to one offered by Polestar/Volvo/GM.
AAOS (Android Automotive OS) is open source code w/out Google specific services in it.
PTAL https://developers.google.com/cars for more detail for GAS.
Car makers can also contract with Google to provide services such as
Maps and the Google Assistant in their cars via Google Automotive
Services (GAS).
I am working on a Windows 8 "phone" which for the following reasons is unable to use maps
Bing maps: Microsoft itself announced to not to support Bing maps APIs any further instead they'll be using Nokia APIs.
Nokia APIs: facing licensing issues.
In-built Map control: Network connectivity issues. the emulator is unable to connect to the network
Google APIs: It is only option left. But this again poses similar issues as I am naïve to its usage
Please suggest as to how can I use the Map functionality in my app without connecting to the network
Bing maps are still supported they are just no longer the default. They are not as comprehensive as the Nokia datasets and have issues with being used in some parts of the world (China).
There are no licensing issues with using the embedded Nokia maps control in a Windows Phone 8 app. Why do you think there are licensing issues?
The built in Nokia maps control does support downloading maps for use offline. It's one of it's big selling points.
Google map tiles can bee used with the old/Bing maps control but does not provide automatic support for offline usage and it is a LOT of work to implement yourself.
I know this is repeated question. I read almost all the threads , googled a lot and became more confused. I read Microsoft Mobile Internet Toolkit (MMIT) is not used anymore and Windows Mobile 6.5 Developer Tool Kit is widely used .
Requirement:Develope and publish websites for mobile phones.
Envoirnment:VS2008/.net 3.5
I am new to mobile web application development. I want to know how to start ,what are the frameworks i should know/download,sample websites or articles..
Thanks,

If you want to create web applications for mobile devices using microsoft technologies check out this site:

It has simple how-to.....
If you're going to invest in a new skill, I'd focus on iPhone and Android development - they're far more widespread than windows mobile.
at first i thought with Titanium, i can develop for Mobile and Desktop over AIR on Desktop only, but a quick look at the AIR Site, i guess i am wrong.
Benefit from a consistent, flexible,
and visual development environment for
applications on multiple platforms and
devices such as smartphones,
smartbooks, tablets, netbooks, and
PCs.
so my question is are there any major differences of titanium over air that i shld be aware of?
if no, i guess now air maybe better documented and has the backing of a more recognized company? after working with titanium desktop for a while i felt abit helpless and the docs are not really helping much
There are a lot of subtle differences, of course, and there are advantages and disadvantages to working in either, but the largest difference is that Titanium can produce apps for the iPhone/iPad, and AIR can't (well, at least not conveniently).
AIR can produce iPhone apps that you can deploy using the ad-hoc provisioning, but you can't distribute via the app store.
I've got desktop apps on both and am making a mobile app right now. Titanium desktop will cut your dev time to 1/3 of the time you'll take jumping through AIRs various sandboxes and security measures. Best yet, the code I wrote for my Ti desktop app is all javascript with about 3 Ti API calls and can be taken anywhere. The AIR app is all mangled by the wild structure you have to use with AIR apps and 1 million api calls.
The downside to Ti desktop is the API isn't as fully featured, and the Ti team pushes 4 times as many updates for the mobile API as the desktop API. Also, you won't be able to port your app from desktop to mobile easily as they are two different structures and APIs.
That said, developing for iPhone and Android on Ti is the same exact process and that won't happen on AIR.
Lots to weigh, but for my money it's Ti over AIR.
Hope this helps.
I am developing an application with Flash Lite designed to run on Nokia S60 5th edition phones using the Flash Lite API Bridge Interface. The application uses the API Bridge to access the phones camera and upload functionality to take a photo, display it to the user then upload it to a server. I am using Flash CS4 Professional and Device Central to develop and test the interface.
Are there any emulators that will run my flash lite app and simulate the camera? What are my options short of getting a phone and installing my app every time I want to test something new?
