When the keyboard appears for UITextViews and UITextFields there is a microphone button that lets you do Speech to Text. Is there anyway for me to activate this functionality without having the user to click on the button?

  • Not sure if any public APIs exist for that. Maybe you can find something interesting using `class-dump`. Dirty hackish solution in case you don't: simulate a click using `UITouch`. –  Jun 03 '13 at 18:39

Currently there is no public API to access that feature. You can do this using third party libraries like Nuance or OpenEars.

  • Yea I do have OpenEars implemented, but since it's offline translation it can only do a small vocabulary accurately. So I was hoping to be able to use Apple's online translation for free. I believe Nuance cost money to use their server translation. – Alan Jun 03 '13 at 19:39
