Vuforia Studio -> 3D Eyeware -> How do you convert something you say to text?

Hi @rrzink91 , 

so far I know, currently we can  use only commands defined as voice commands/with voice alias. 

for example, here the commands "test" and "foo" will executed some code defined in the Home.js

Possibly you can define some command "atoms" where you can combine them to get a more complex message / to recognize it as spoken text

example:  "book  two   open  start " where in this example the voice commands are  “book”,  “two”, “open” and “start” are different commands. In this case “book”,  “two” and “open” will write setting of some variables to the program stack and then when “start” is called it will start the main procedure which will check the current program stack e.g.  what was called before to execute the desired action.  You can also define some commands to reset the current program stack or  start a new  command sequence

There is an API "Using the Web Speech API"  which I tested and it work fine in a preview mode / inside chrome but unfortunately it does not work on the HoloLens device.

Also another points is that according to  PTC article "Article - CS300379" currently for the voice command only English is supported.

I tested and it seems that the spoken text as output from device is working fine. Some code like this

$scope.app.foo= function() {$scope.app.speak("foo was called here");}
//==============
$scope.app.speak = function (msg_txt)
{
 console.log("speak :: "+ msg_txt);
// $scope.app.speech.synthesizeSpeech(textSpeech[i]);}
if(twx.app.isPreview() == true){
 
var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(msg_txt);
speechSynthesis.speak(msg)

} else { //HoloLens
 
 $scope.app.speech.synthesizeSpeech({'text':msg_txt}); 
 }
 
}

Here the funciton foo could be called from  the voice command define in UI:
