Kõnele service

Kõnele service is an Android app that offers a speech-to-text service to other apps, in particular to Kõnele (https://github.com/Kaljurand/K6nele). It implements Android's SpeechRecognizer interface to an open source speech recognition server software https://github.com/alumae/kaldi-gstreamer-server.

Building the APK from source

Clone the source code including the speechutils submodule:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:Kaljurand/K6nele-service.git

Point to the Android SDK directory by setting the environment variable ANDROID_HOME, e.g.

ANDROID_HOME=${HOME}/myapps/android-sdk/

In order to change your build environment create the file gradle.properties at a location pointed to by the environment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME. This will extend and override the definitions found in the gradle.properties that is part of the release.

Build the app

./gradlew assemble

If you have access to a release keystore then add these lines to the extended gradle.properties:

storeFilename=</path/to/store.jks>
storePassword=<storePassword>
keyAlias=<keyAlias>
keyPassword=<keyPassword>

The (signed and unsigned) APKs will be generated into app/build/outputs/apk/.
