Voice capture technology is here and it's so good. How good? The Spoken SDK can understand your voice 109% of the human ear can gather. You can control apps using your voice. This makes apps easier to use when driving or when impaired visually.

Capture Voice Commands

You can capture your voice commands calling the spoken.listen() method. This method requests your microphone access. Once the voice capture starts your computer starts translating your speech into text. This is commonly referred as Speech-to-Text.

spoken.listen().then( transcript => {
    pubnub.publish({ message : transcript });
} );

Once the transcript is captured you can transmit the result to be received by a remote computer or IoT Device, like a lamp. You can say: "Turn on the hallway lights.". You can also say: "Badger Badger Badger.".

Receive Voice Commands

Using any one of the PubNub SDKs you can receive commands driving by your voice.

pubnub.subscribe({ channels: ['badger'] });
pubnub.addListener( { message : transcript => {
    // DO SOMETHING HERE WITH YOUR VOICE TRANSCRIPT
    console.log(transcript);
} );

Building apps with Voice Controls

You can create many new apps using voice technologies. Start by reviewing this list.

• Taking meeting notes
• Writing documents
• Controlling things remotely (IoT)
• Chatting with chatbots
• Sudo make me a sandwich

Now you can build voice powered apps really easy using our new Spoken SDK.

You can use the following code to add voice-controls to your app.

Voice Command App

Use this code on the device with the microphone.

<script src="https://stephenlb.github.io/spoken/spoken.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.pubnub.com/sdk/javascript/pubnub.4.21.2.min.js"></script>
<script>( async e => { 'use strict';

const subscribe_key = '_SUBSCRIBE_API_KEY_';
const publish_key   = '__PUBLISH_API_KEY__';
const data_channel  = 'badger';

// Event Stream Network
const pubnub = new PubNub({
    publishKey   : subscribe_key,
    subscribeKey : publish_key
});

// Transmit your captured voice transcription
spoken.listen().then( transcript => {
    pubnub.publish({ message : transcript, channel : data_channel });
} ).catch( e => console.info('Already listening.') );

})()</script>

Remote Device App

Use this code on the remote device like an IoT lightbulb.

<script src="https://cdn.pubnub.com/sdk/javascript/pubnub.4.21.2.min.js"></script>
<script>( async e => { 'use strict';

const subscribe_key = '_SUBSCRIBE_API_KEY_';
const publish_key   = '__PUBLISH_API_KEY__';
const data_channel  = 'badger';

// Event Stream Network
const pubnub = new PubNub({
    publishKey   : subscribe_key,
    subscribeKey : publish_key
});

pubnub.subscribe({ channels: [data_channel] });
pubnub.addListener( { message : transcript => {
    // DO SOMETHING HERE WITH COMMAND
    console.log(transcript);
} );

})()</script>

That's it! Now you can create a voice controlled device in just a few minutes.

Badgers, Mushrooms and a Snake

The original meme cartoon was published on 2 September 2003.

Original Badgers Animation

The cartoon loops indefinitely. The first two badger scenes contain twelve badgers. And subsequent badger scenes contain eleven badgers.
