I'm looking for a RESTful Speech to Text service for iOS that will allow me to attach an audio file to a POST request (with an API like AFNetworking), then receive a text response of the translated text. The AT&T API for Speech to Text seems interesting, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation about working with Objective-C.
Are there any such services, free/paid, that would offer the ability to "translate" an audio file into text through a POST request?
How about using the Nexiwave API? I've heard some pretty great stuff about it. http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
One option is using Google Chrome API.
Refer to http://mikepultz.com/2011/03/accessing-google-speech-api-chrome-11/
You can recognize using flac(or speex)-encoded audio recording.
I don't know whether it's free or not for commercial product. But you can use it for testing and development purpose.
Try Nexiwave.com. API is here: http://nexiwave.com/index.php/site-map/119-integrate-voicemail-to-text-in-5-minutes
at&t is free/Paid Api and you can make 3 apps for free in at&t you need to post audio and you will get json,Xml in response
https://developer.att.com/apis/speech/docs contain documentation for it.
Also there is another APi http://www.nuance.com/for-individuals/mobile-applications/dragon-dictation/index.htm it's a paid API but as you register you will get API-Key and other key required to make sample application(only for development not for production).
but no one API is accurate as google and siri.
I have made sample application using at&t API,Dragon mobile API and Google.If you have any doubt feel free to ask

I want to be able to contribute to Google Translate on my native language (Sinhala).
Although there is an online portal (http://translate.google.com/community/) where we can contribute to the translator by translating new phrases or validating existing translations, I would like to create my own, lightweight portal (maybe an Android app) for the contribution service. However, I was unable to find any public API for the translate contribution platform, despite a thorough Google search and a full search through the Google Translator Toolkit API forum (https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!categories/translator-toolkit-api) (which seems to have been closed down since the end of 2012).
Currently my best hope is to mimic the request-response sequence followed by the online portal itself. For example, the following request is used by the online portal to fetch a question list for manual translation:
GET http://translate.google.com/community/question_list?sl=en&tl=si&client=t
However, it requires that all the related cookies are properly initialized and passed with the request, which would probably not be easy to mimic in a non-browser environment (such as an Android app). Hence I believe there's a better approach (maybe a yet undocumented API?) somewhere out there.
Does anyone know of any API for accessing this translation contribution feature?
Thanks in advance.
Please note: I am NOT looking for a way to improve Google Translate itself, but for contributing to the actual translation content as described under "How can I help?" in the Google Translate Community FAQ (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dwS4CZzgZwmvoB9pAx4A6Yytmv7itk_XE968RMiqpMY/pub#h.e1ahmpftpdum).
P.S. I was initially planning to post this question on the Web Apps Stack Exchange, but after reading this post I decided to first try it here.
I'm one of the engineers behind Translate Community and I'm really excited that you want to see it on more platforms. We're currently under active development of the site and making it more accessible on mobile platforms without having to create dedicated native apps.
For the time being, we don't anticipate releasing a public API as the platform is under active development. Until we do release a public API, please don't use any http commands you find to create a separate app. Instead, just let us know how we can make the app a better experience for you and we'll work on making it better.
Thanks!

(I asked on programmers.stackexchange.com but my question got voted down into the negative, so I'm re-asking here.)
I'd like to use a map API for a private intranet web site I'm developing. The Google Maps API is free as long as the web site that uses it is also free. For private intranet web sites, the Google Maps API costs $10,000 US per year (or more) for a business/enterprise license which makes it too expensive for a small 1-guy shop like myself.
So now I'm looking for other options. Are there any usable HTTP map APIs that are free or lower/reasonable cost?
You might wanna check this and this too because what you think about the rules about Google Map is not entirely true. To answer your question, most other providers carry similar license agreement; plus, the solution is not hard to be found hence the voting down (I suppose, no offense).
Anyhow, try Googling OpenStreetMap, hope this helps you!
Google GeoCharts is not a street-by-street level maps and satelite pictures familiar to Google Maps users, but it worked great for what I needed. You can find it here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
(Actually, the entire Google Charts javascript library is quite amazing!)

I want a text-speech API that works over the web. Google Translate unofficial API doesn't fit because I need to read more than one paragraph and they're limited to 100 chars.
I checked iSpeech, but they require a telephone call to buy credits and since this work maintainers do not speak english and this type of billing/selling is pretty ridiculous, I'm looking forward for another alternative.
Anyone?
EDIT: It must have an pt-BR voice.
I was searching for the exact same thing, I needed pt-BR voice too, and I have just quit using Google TTS because it has got some limitations, bugs (with sentence punctuation endings) and no documentation at all.
I found http://www.voicerss.org/
It works good for me, it's free, simple API and has the Brazilian pt-BR voice we need.
I actually spoke to iSpeech ( http://www.ispeech.org ) the other day, and apparently you can purchase credits directly from the web site (did you click Upgrade?). The reference to having to contact them is regarding higher volume pricing. (I haven't actually upgraded, so I haven't verified this, but that's what they said.)
Alternatives include:
http://ws.neospeech.com
http://acapela-group.com (or http://acapela-box.com)
http://acapela-vaas.com (VaaS means Voice as a Service, and this is a pure web API)
http://www.ivona.com/en/developer/
http://www.voiceforge.com/
https://speechtronic.com
Except for Neospeech, which has a free plan, the others are over my budget... Also, I'm disappointed that Neospeech's API is asynchronous. The API returns a code, whose status you then look up, until you get a url for the result. So it sounds like it's geared towards large amounts of text at a time.

I'm using Yahoo search facility in my app (not YQL or API's) but i'm wondering if i submit the app for review is it going to come up against any copyright violations??
Exactly how, if you don't use the API, are you using Yahoo's search? Are you posting the raw http to Yahoo?
You have to read the terms of service of Yahoo to see if this is an issue:
12 . NO COMMERCIAL REUSE OF YAHOO! SERVICES
You agree not to reproduce, duplicate,
copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit
for any commercial purposes, any
portion or use of, or access to, the
Yahoo! Services (including Content,
advertisements, Software and your
Yahoo! ID).
And why not use the API? Using Yahoo's API is no more a violation of the iOS development license than Twitteriffic using the Twitter API.
My feeling is even if everything is up and up with Yahoo, you'll probably get pinged on this when your app gets reviewed because it looks like you're doing something sneaky. Better off using the API.

I researched this, read the TOS and only got more confused. I want to develop a desktop application (Java or Objective-C) using maps. What I'll actually need from the maps is to visually set a starting point, and an end point and get the distance in km. How can I do this (API or interface), and am I allowed to use Google Maps API in this manner?
The Google maps API needs an Iframe. So you'd have to embed a browser in your app. At which point it 'should' not violate the license. The API and the related is http://code.google.com/apis/maps/. There is a discussion forum there as well to ask License specific questions.
There are specific API calls to do exactly what you're looking to do.
Indeed, from that website's FAQ, I got:
Can I use Google Maps in my non-Web application?
Yes, the Google Maps APIs can now be used in Desktop applications, provided that they adhere to the other restrictions of the Terms of Service. Note that in order for a desktop application to be deemed "publicly accessible", there must be a publicly accessible webpage from which it can be downloaded. See Section 7.1c of the Terms of Service for more information.
Now I only need to find out how to implement it in a desktop!
