An Idea #3

Is there a plan in the future to enable wits speech api to allow live recognition so the user could see what they are saying as they are saying it? Similar to that of ok google. Thanks!

That would be very nice indeed!

That's not high priority because we want Wit to run on "things" that don't necessarily have a screen.

Also, we don't focus on real-time transcription but on understanding. When you tell a five-year old to bring you the ball, they can't write down what you said, but they can bring you the ball. Transcription is more important asynchronously, so that you can see in your Wit inbox what users said, and improve your configuration accordingly.

That being said if we had an easy way to get this feature, we would definitely have it!
