title: Speech to Text on Android
body: <p>I am looking to create an app which has Speech to text.</p>
  
  <p>I am aware of this kind of ability using the RecognizerIntent: <a href="http://android-developers.blogspot.com/search/label/Speech%20Input" rel="noreferrer">http://android-developers.blogspot.com/search/label/Speech%20Input</a></p>
  
  <p>However - I do not want a new Intent to be popped up, I want to do the analysis a certain points in my current app, and I dont want it to pop something up stating that it is currently attempting to record your voice.</p>
  
  <p>Has anybody any ideas on how best to do this. I was perhaps thinking of trying Sphinx 4 - but I dont know if this would be able to run on Android - has anyone got any advice or experience?!</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if I could alter the code here to perhaps not bothering to show the UI or button and just do the processing: <a href="http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/VoiceRecognition.html" rel="noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/VoiceRecognition.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Cheers,</p>
