Utilize the react-native-voice library for implementing speech recognition feature
The Gifted Chat component provides a text prop and onInputTextChanged prop to assist in managing the speech recognition results displayed in the text box.
import Voice from '@react-native-community/voice';
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { GiftedChat, Composer } from 'react-native-gifted-chat';
const SpeechRecognition = () => {
const [speechText, setSpeechText] = useState('');
useEffect(() => {
Voice.onSpeechStart = handleSpeechStart;
Voice.onSpeechEnd = handleSpeechEnd;
Voice.onSpeechError = handleSpeechError;
Voice.onSpeechResults = handleSpeechResults;
Voice.onSpeechPartialResults = handleSpeechPartialResults;
return () => Voice.destroy().then(Voice.removeAllListeners)
}, [])
const handleSpeechStart = () => {
...
}
const handleSpeechEnd = () => {
...
}
const handleSpeechError = () => {
...
}
const handleSpeechResults = (e) => {
...
setSpeechText(e.value[0])
}
const handleSpeechPartialResults = (e) => {
...
setSpeechText(e.value[0])
}
const startListening = () => {
...
// Set the locale to specify the language for recognition, e.g., I am using Nigerian English.
Voice.start('en-NG')
}
const renderComposer = (props) => {
// Add a microphone button within the text input field
return (
<View style={{ flexDirection: 'row' }}>
<Composer {...props} />
<MicrophoneButton onPress={startListening} />
</View>
)
}
return (
...
<GiftedChat
renderComposer={renderComposer}
text={speechText}
onInputTextChanged={setSpeechText}
/>
...
)
