Is it possible to use android's speech recognition without showing the dialog?

Question

I want to use the speech to text api in android, but I don\'t want to be slowed down by those dialogs. Is it possible to use the functionality without them?

Answer 1

No.

The Intent for the speech recognition displays the dialog and there are no options to disable showing it.

You should also know that the speech recognition feature requires an internet connection so that the sound can be uploaded to Google for recognition.
