is there any way to use speech recognition in Corona SDK?
even if it is via http or something, I believe the corona should do this integration.
Corona SDK cannot do this. Corona Enterprise and CoronaCards have access to native libraries so you might be able to accomplish what you want there.
I don’t know how popular of a feature this would be for the entire community. It sounds rather like a niche feature. Your best bet is to go to http://feedback.coronalabs.com and see if someone has already created a feature request for this and vote their’s up, or start your own if they have not.

Seems like this feature has been requested for years now, so there’s clearly persistent interest from the community. I can think of a number of use cases for business and educational apps, both for TTS and for speech recognition. These engines are already integrated into the mobile platforms, so is there another reason it hasn’t been exposed within Corona?
I just looked on our feedback site where we track feature requests and looking for “speech” as a keyword, I didn’t find a single request for this.
There is not as high a demand as you might think. If this comes up more than a couple of times a year in the forums I would be surprised. You’re welcome to add an entry and get it voted up: http://feedback.coronalabs.com
You also have the choice of using Corona Enterprise or CoronaCards to implement this at the native level.
Rob
Wow, that is very surprising. I guess the requests have just been limited to inquiries in various forums. I have to admit that I think creating the implementation myself is currently outside of my skill level (and pay grade, re: pricing for Enterprise and Cards), but I’ll look into it. My goal was to build some educational apps for my daughters so they can work on spelling and phonetics in an entertaining way, so it’s hard to justify the cost for something non-commercial.
Thanks for the quick reply, Rob.
Hi Bob!!!
unfortunately the corona does not yet support. But it would be a differentiator for us game developers, we can perform various actions by voice command and make it more attractive and interactive game with the user. I have no idea how you implement an API of its kind in Corona, but for their experience, it would be too complex?
I’m working on two projects working with voice command and unfortunately had to use another framework.
I found these relevant requests to work with voice

Right, text-2-speech isn’t speech recognition. It’s the exact opposite.
Feel free to enter an entry for it at the feedback site http://feedback.coronalabs.com and get it voted up. It’s the only way we can track requests.
Rob
Right, I’m interested in both. For my personal application, at least the one I’m exploring now, speech recognition to show the spelling of a word, and then TTS to speak a spelled word back.
Out of curiosity, how many developers does Corona like to see raise their hands before they consider a feature request worthwhile? If you can answer that, of course…
I will definitely add an entry at the feedback site.
It’s not a fixed number. We have to factor how difficult it is, what our other pressing requests are. Can it be implemented in a cross platform manner? These are the types of things that factor in.
Rob
This can also be taken up by someone and made into a plugin, if someone wants to do the work themselves.
Yeah, I had a feeling it was subjective. I know that Android and iOS have very different voice implementations, so I may be barking up a very tall tree.
Worth the pursuit either way. Thanks again for the ongoing conversation.
