Can I get speech recognition in language other than English on Android?

Question

I am trying to build an application (which would use the Hindi language and other regional languages) to get speech voice commands.

I also need text to speech functionality in my application.

I was wondering if there was any way I could get a speech recognition library on Android? I did a quick Google search and found a couple of libraries for Hindi on the Internet but I am not sure if I can include them in my Android project. Can I?

Answer 1

Android does support a few languages but not very many, I think the list currently is US, Japanese and Chinese. Not Hindi yet though I would think they are working to add new language support soon.

Over on the Android Developers page they have a good example.
