Android App- speech to text in Indian English

Question

I am developing an Android App that uses speech to text recognition.I have used RecognizerIntent and i know about the link http://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/RecognizerIntent.html#EXTRA_LANGUAGE But this allows US-english. I want the speech recognizer to recognize Indian Englishas i need the App to recognize Indian names. Is it possible?

Answer 1

As the linked document says, the value is a "IETF language tag (as defined by BCP 47)". Which values are actually supported depends on the speech recognizer that you are using. E.g. Google's recognizer supports en-IN, so if you are using Google's recognizer then you could try to set the value of EXTRA_LANGUAGE to en-IN and test if Indian names will be recognized.
