Wondering about the pricing using this plugin on Android? #107

Hi,

My name is Hoang Nguyen, I've been using this plugin to add the speech-to-text feature to my application for a while and it's still working great for demos. However, now my app will be a commercial app and it means I need to take into account pricing things of included 3rd party services. From the description, the plugin relied on the speech api from google and as far as I know, it's not free as stated here: https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/

The problem is there's nothing like adding a key (as Map API) when using this plugin so I do not really know in the case that Google tries to charge me when exceeding their free quota, how would they do that?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

This is terrible. I worked with this plugin for only 2 days, and everything was fine. But today he stopped working, complaining about the lack of an Internet connection, despite the fact that there is Internet. Later it became a discovery for me that the plugin conflicts with @ ionic-native / media / ngx, which is necessary for me in order to record audio. It is sad that the author does not support this, but there is a link to it in the ionic documentation.

i exactly have this query, how does the plugin work based on android API (speech recognition) which depends on a gcloud setup and key. i could not understand how all this works. Can someone elaborate. @pbakondy can you help ?

Android speech-to-text API uses the inbuilt feature of the phone. I've been using this feature for the past 2 years. I think there is no need of any API key.

But in GCP they charge money for this service, so why in this plugin its free? How about iOS?

It's a different product. The GCP is a different service than the one this plugin is using.
