How to set the language in speech recognition on android?

Question

I\'ve been working on speech Recognition API in android and found out that the speech results vary allot when the language settings are changed , is there a way to set it pr

Answer 1

I finally got my app to restrict voice recognition results to a specified language input (handing it, e.g., "ja" for Japanese or "fr" for French) by adding all 3 of the following extras:

String languagePref = "de";//or, whatever iso code...
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, languagePref);
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE, languagePref); 
intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_ONLY_RETURN_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE, languagePref);

Hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

this code is to set the language in speech recognization

  String languagePref = "te-IN";//this is for telugu

     //kannada --->  "kn-IN"
     //tamil--->  "ta-IN".....

            Intent intent = new Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH);
            intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL,
                    RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM);
            intent.putExtra(RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE, languagePref);
