Hi,

I have been wrtting an android app in which I have implemented voice recognition/action for english, german and greek.
What I am using in my app is the:
android.speech.RecognizerIntent

Is that the same as the Cloud speech API?
https://cloud.google.com/speech/

So far I am impressed with the results, however if I would decide to upload the app in the Play Store does this mean that I will have to start paying per 15 seconds of total usage of my app as described in CLOUD SPEECH API PRICING (after the first hour).

I also read today that:Cloud Speech API is now generally available, but I am not really sure what this means...
 
You don't have to pay for SpeechRecognizer, it's part of the Android framework.

Google's cloud speech API is a general purpose speech recognition web service, which can be used from any web client application, not just Android apps. Looks like you have to pay for that service.
 
Great, thanks for info LV426!
By the way do you know if it is possible to download the language packages for the offline speech recognition directly from my app (without the user having to go manually to "Google voice typing" -> "Offline speech recognition"-> Download Languages)?
