Summary

This chapter has provided an introduction to speech technology on Android devices. We examined various types of speech app that are currently available on Android devices. We also looked at why we decided to focus on Google Speech APIs as tools for the developer. Finally we introduced the main technologies required to create a Virtual Personal Assistant. These technologies will be covered in the remaining chapters of this book.

We will introduce you to text-to-speech synthesis (TTS) and show how to use the Google TTS API to develop applications that speak in the next chapter.
