UITextField begin dictation

Question

I\'d like to programmatically put my UITextField input into dictation mode, without requiring the user to bring up and select dictation from the keyboard. Searched the API

Answer 1

You have to implement SFSpeechRecognizer, use Accelerate framework to get mic sound level floats and make an animated view yourself. It will look cooler!

Sorry for not providing the code, I think i lost it. Can’t find it on my multiple hard drives :/
