Tizen Native API  4.0
STT Engine

The STT Engine APIs provide functions to operate Speech-To-Text Engine.

Required Header

#include <stte.h>

Overview

Speech-To-Text Engine (below STTE) is an engine for recording speech and resulting in texts of speech recognition. Using the STT Engine APIs, STTE developers can provide STTE service users, who want to apply STTE, with functions necessary to operate the engine. According to the indispensability of STTE services, there are two ways to provide them to the users.
A. Required STTE services
These services are indispensable to operate STTE. Therefore, the STTE developers MUST implement callback functions corresponding to the required STTE services. The following is a list of the callback functions.

FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
stte_get_info_cb() Called when the engine service user requests the basic information of STT engine.
stte_initialize_cb() Called when the engine service user initializes STT engine.
stte_deinitialize_cb() Called when the engine service user deinitializes STT engine.
stte_is_valid_language_cb() Called when the engine service user checks whether the corresponding language is valid or not.
stte_foreach_supported_langs_cb() Called when the engine service user gets the whole supported language list.
stte_support_silence_detection_cb() Called when the engine service user checks whether STT engine supports silence detection.
stte_set_silence_detection_cb() Called when the engine service user sets the silence detection.
stte_support_recognition_type_cb() Called when the engine service user checks whether STT engine supports the corresponding recognition type.
stte_get_recording_format_cb() Called when the engine service user gets the proper recording format of STT engine.
stte_set_recording_data_cb() Called when the engine service user sets and sends the recording data for speech recognition.
stte_foreach_result_time_cb() Called when the engine service user gets the result time information(stamp).
stte_start_cb() Called when the engine service user starts to recognize the recording data.
stte_stop_cb() Called when the engine service user stops to recognize the recording data.
stte_cancel_cb() Called when the engine service user cancels to recognize the recording data.
stte_check_app_agreed_cb() Called when the engine service user requests for STT engine to check whether the application agreed the usage of STT engine.
stte_need_app_credential_cb() Called when the engine service user checks whether STT engine needs the application's credential.

The STTE developers can register the above callback functions at a time with using a structure 'stte_request_callback_s' and an API 'stte_main()'. To operate STTE, the following steps should be used:
1. Create a structure 'stte_request_callback_s'.
2. Implement callback functions. (NOTE that the callback functions should return appropriate values in accordance with the instruction. If the callback function returns an unstated value, STT framework will handle it as STTE_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILED.)
3. Register callback functions using 'stte_main()'. (The registered callback functions will be called when the STTE service users request the STTE services.)
4. Use 'service_app_main()' for working STTE.
B. Optional STTE services
Unlike the required STTE services, these services are optional to operate STTE. The followings are optional STTE services.

  • receive/provide the private data
    If the STTE developers want to provide the above services, use the following APIs and implement the corresponding callback functions:
    FUNCTION DESCRIPTION CORRESPONDING CALLBACK
    stte_set_private_data_set_cb() Sets a callback function for receiving the private data from the engine service user. stte_private_data_set_cb()
    stte_set_private_data_requested_cb() Sets a callback function for providing the private data to the engine service user. stte_private_data_requested_cb()

    Using the above APIs, the STTE developers can register the optional callback functions respectively. (For normal operation, put those APIs before 'service_app_main()' starts.) Unlike callback functions, the following APIs are functions for getting and sending data. The STTE developers can use these APIs when they implement STTE services:
    FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
    stte_send_result() Sends the recognition result to the engine service user.
    stte_send_error() Sends the error to the engine service user.
    stte_send_speech_status() Sends the speech status to the engine service user when STT engine notifies the change of the speech status.

typedef int(* stte_check_app_agreed_cb)(const char *appid, bool *is_agreed)

Called when the engine service user requests for STT engine to check whether the application agreed the usage of STT engine.

This callback function is called when the engine service user requests for STT engine to check the application's agreement about using the engine. According to the need, the engine developer can provide some user interfaces to check the agreement.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
This callback function is mandatory and must be registered using stte_main(). If the STT engine developer wants not to check the agreement, the developer has need to return proper values as is_agreed in accordance with the intention. true if the developer regards that every application agreed the usage of the engine, false if the developer regards that every application disagreed. NOTE that, however, there may be any legal issue unless the developer checks the agreement. Therefore, we suggest that the engine developers should provide a function to check the agreement.
Parameters:
[in]appidThe Application ID
[out]is_agreedA variable for checking whether the application agreed to use STT engine or not. true to agree, false to disagree
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value

Called when the engine service user gets the result time information(stamp).

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
This callback function is mandatory and must be registered using stte_main(). In this function, the engine service user's callback function 'stte_result_time_cb()' is invoked repeatedly for sending the time information to the engine service user, and user_data must be transferred to 'stte_result_time_cb()'. If 'stte_result_time_cb()' returns false, it should be stopped to call 'stte_result_time_cb()'. time_info is transferred from stte_send_result(). The type of time_info is up to the STT engine developer.
Parameters:
[in]time_infoThe time information
[in]callbackThe callback function
[in]user_dataThe user data which must be passed to the callback function 'stte_result_time_cb()'

int stte_send_result ( stte_result_event_e  event,
const char *  type,
const char **  result,
int  result_count,
const char *  msg,
void *  time_info,
void *  user_data 
)

Sends the recognition result to the engine service user.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
This API is used in stte_set_recording_data_cb() and stte_stop_cb(), when STT engine sends the recognition result to the engine service user. This function is called in the following situations; 1) after stte_stop_cb() is called, 2) the end point of speech is detected from recording, or 3) partial result is occurred. The recognition result and user_data must be transferred to the engine service user through this function. Also, time_info must be transferred to stte_foreach_result_time_cb(). The type of time_info is up to the STT engine developer.
Parameters:
[in]eventThe result event
[in]typeThe recognition type (e.g. STTE_RECOGNITION_TYPE_FREE, STTE_RECOGNITION_TYPE_FREE_PARTIAL)
[in]resultResult texts
[in]result_countResult text count
[in]msgEngine message (e.g. STTE_RESULT_MESSAGE_NONE, STTE_RESULT_MESSAGE_ERROR_TOO_SHORT)
[in]time_infoThe time information
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from stte_start_cb()
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
STTE_ERROR_NONESuccessful
STTE_ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETERInvalid parameter
STTE_ERROR_PERMISSION_DENIEDPermission denied
STTE_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTEDNot supported
STTE_ERROR_OPERATION_FAILEDOperation failure
Precondition:
The stte_main() function should be invoked before this function is called. stte_stop_cb() will invoke this function.
Postcondition:
This function invokes stte_foreach_result_time_cb().

int stte_send_speech_status ( stte_speech_status_e  status,
void *  user_data 
)

Sends the speech status to the engine service user when STT engine notifies the change of the speech status.

Since :
3.0
Remarks:
This API is invoked when STT engine wants to notify the change of the speech status anytime. NOTE that this API can be invoked for recognizing the speech.
Parameters:
[in]statusThe status of speech (e.g. STTE_SPEECH_STATUS_START_POINT_DETECTED or STTE_SPEECH_STATUS_END_POINT_DETECTED)
[in]user_dataThe user data passed from the start function.
Returns:
0 on success, otherwise a negative error value
Return values:
STTE_ERROR_NONESuccessful
