Show HN: Voice Overlay for iOS and Android Apps

Posted by ndessaigne on Tuesday October 02, 2018 @09:44AM
from the show-hn dept.

We're seeing at Algolia a lot of developers implementing speech to text in their mobile apps, but didn't see much in the way of tooling to help them do it. So we set out to fix it, and wanted to release it not just for our users, but for any devs who want to do this.iOS/Swift: https://github.com/algolia/voice-overlay-ios/ Android/Kotlin: https://github.com/algolia/voice-overlay-android/We...

We already provide analytics about the searches performed on your indices. However, we focus on user-facing search use-cases. We don't recommend using Algolia for processing your logs for example. See this quora answer for an Elasticsearch / Algolia comparison: http://www.quora.com/How-does-Elasticsearch-relate-and-or-co...

Thanks :) Actually, we intend to continue growing the company in Paris too. The product is developed there.

30% on average in 2014, lower today. Sorry we don't disclose specifics (at least for now). Happy to share experience offline however.

Yes, we already existed before operating the new HN search. We did it as a way to participate to the community and of course it's good for our visibility. The hnsearch.com domain is the property of Octopart, not ours.

Sure, happy to help!
Re:Real-time Search as a Service on Monday February 17, 2014 @12:06PM (#7252989)
We usually recommend to perform one query (one API call) per keystroke starting from the first one. The actual number of calls depends a lot on the use-case. Our ranking takes into account both relevance and popularity to suggest the best result first which greatly reduces the number of letters you need to type. In use-cases where there is a very strong popularity indicator, like the number of followers for TV shows, we usually get the correct result at the first keystroke (b -> breaking bad, d -> dexter). At the other extreme, you may need to type several words.

Can you tell us what's terrible? We are always eager to improve it.
Re:Ask HN: What do you think about our last HN Search update? on Sunday January 26, 2014 @03:29PM (#7126710)
Great feedback. Your UI comments in particular are insightful. It's impossible to get something that pleases everyone, but we'll try to get it closer to current HN design in the next iteration.

1. You're right, it doesn't fit your use-case. We'll implement a strict ordering in the next iteration.

What about the video? I'm under the impression that while a good video won't get you into YC, a bad one can keep you out.

Interestingly, it turns out you can buy your way onto a best-seller list: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142412788732386430457831...

Best illustration I've seen. It's not only useful for fresh batches of Ph.D. students, it's perfect to educate friends and family too!
