Voice-based user interfaces have a universal appeal. And why wouldn't they? Being able to talk to an application feels so much more natural than pressing buttons.

In this Coffee Break Course, Envato Tuts+ instructor Ashraff Hathibelagal will be showing you how to do just that. By the end of the course, you'll know the basics of using Android's speech recognizer and text-to-speech APIs.
