Speech Recognition for Multimodal Apps
Speech Recognition for Multimodal Apps Speech recognition plays a key role in multimodal apps. Voice input lets users stay hands-free and move quickly when it works with touch, gestures, and visuals. Modern systems can run in the cloud, on the device, or in a hybrid setup. Pick the approach based on privacy, speed, and how the app is used. On-device recognition keeps data local and reduces latency, but large models can affect battery life and performance on small devices. Cloud services offer strong accuracy and up-to-date language models, yet require network access. A hybrid approach—on-device for simple commands and cloud support for harder understanding—often gives a good balance. Test with real users to learn what fits. ...
