I am newbie to Android and to voice based app.

I wanted an app to translate a text on the user voice. So basically i believe we would be using some kind of TTS tecnology.

We should build voice of the user , by asking them to repeat a set of words.


How feasible this kind of stuff . I read in few places this kind of stuff does not give that kind of accurate result .I checked some open source stuff like festival.

Looking for some valuable comments on this voice based apps.

Is it worth investing time ? Will i be able to sell the result .

Those are two different questions. To the latter, I'd say: in all likelihood, no. If you're a newbie to Android -and to voice technology-, and working on your own, then it's unlikely that you'll be able to make money worth mentioning with it.

Whether it's worth investing time depends on your personal objectives - you'd certainly learn a lot, but the time spent doing so may or may not be worth it to you.
