Google App Actions, Wake Words, & Alexa: In-Depth on Three (of Many) Ways to Use Spokestack Android
Spokestack's modular design allows you to integrate compelling voice features into your Android app. By combining the three tutorials in this newsletter, you can turn your Alexa voice skill into a voice-powered mobile app, then open and command that mobile app using Google App Actions for the Google Assistant, then keep on reactivating the voice interface to your app using your own wake word. Whew!—sounds like a lot—but all our tutorials come with easy step-by-step instructions that break down the concepts and technologies clearly. Fire up your Alexas and Android devices and let's go!
Turn Your Alexa Skill into a Mobile App
If you have an Alexa skill that you want to try out as an Android app, Spokestack makes it easy! This step-by-step tutorial will walk you through the details of porting an Alexa skill to Android. Follow along as we convert an Alexa skill for finding Minecraft recipes into an Android app with a Spokestack voice interface.
Open & Command Your App Using Google App Actions + Spokestack
One of the coolest features of Spokestack Android is how it lets you make your app's features accessible via Google Assistant but then continues that voice interaction via its very own voice layer independently of Google Assistant. You can have both with Spokestack!
Use Spokestack for Full Control of Your Voice Interface
Wake word activation runs entirely on-device, so it's fast and private. With it, you can listen for your app's wake word name, and then activate the full voice interface to continue interacting with your user. It can be complicated, but Spokestack's powerful speech pipeline explains how it all works together.
