ezSTT is a native extension that provides voice recognition to mobile applications on iOS and Android. The extension primarily relies on online services provided by Google and Apple to perform the recognition process, which requires a connection to the internet. If the ANE is used offline, the appropriate language packs must be installed in the system (there is no way to do this programmatically).On both systems, this ANE

On iOS and Android, the extension supports the following languages: English, French, Italian, Spanish, Deutsch, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Korean, Portuguese, Czech, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Turkish. Those are the exact same languages provided in AIR 24 runtime.

Sample

import com.fabricemontfort.air.ezstt.STTEvent;
import com.fabricemontfort.air.ezstt.languages;
 
var stt:ezSTT = ezSTT.instance();
 
public function onAuth(event:STTEvent):void
{
    trace (event.message);
 
    if (stt.isAuthorized()) {
        stt.removeEventListener(STTEvent.AUTH, onAuth);
        stt.addEventListener(STTEvent.FINAL, onFinal);
        stt.setLanguage(languages.FR);
        stt.start();
    }
}
 
public function onFinal(event:STTEvent):void {
    // Best result from Google / Apple
    stt.removeEventListener(STTEvent.FINAL, onFinal);
    trace (event.message);
}
 
if (stt.isSupported()) {
    if (stt.isAuthorized()) {
        stt.debug = true;
 
        stt.addEventListener(STTEvent.FINAL, onFinal);
        stt.setLanguage(languages.FR);
        stt.start();
    } else {
        stt.addEventListener(STTEvent.AUTH, onAuth);
        stt.askUserAuthorization();
    }
}

ezSpeech is a native extension that provides voice to mobile applications on iOS and Android. The extension does not use online services, instead it works offline using the TTS engine (text to speech) of the device. The API allows developers to customize the output audio, adjusting elements as speed and language.

Regarding the language selection, on Android, if a specific TTS voice file is not installed and internet connection is available, the ANE will download and install it automatically. On iOS, all voices supported by the extension are pre-installed.

Sample

import com.fabricemontfort.air.ezSpeech;
import com.fabricemontfort.air.ezspeech.languages;
 
var tts:ezSpeech = ezSpeech.instance;
 
if (tts.isSupported()) {
    tts.setSpeed(0.5);
 
    tts.setLanguage(languages.US);
    tts.say("Hello. This is a sample application!");
 
    tts.setLanguage(languages.FR);
    tts.say("Bonjour. Ceci est un example d'application!");
}

Firebase is a native extension that gives access to the Google Firebase project in Adobe Air projects supported on both Android and iOS with 100% identical ActionScript API. The extension will cut down the amount of time you would spend on setting up server-side logics and besides that, it ensures that your content will always be available to your users as fast as possible.

Below are the main highlights of this native extension:

• Enable the Firebase Core in your AIR apps
• Enable the access to all of the Firebase child ANEs’ features:
  • Analytics Reimagine analytics for mobile
  • Cloud Messaging (FCM) Deliver and receive messages across platforms reliably
  • Authentication Reduce friction with robust authentication
  • Realtime Database Store and sync app data in realtime
  • Storage Store files with ease
  • Remote Config Customize your app on the fly
  • Crash Reporting Keep your app stable
  • App Indexing Drive organic search traffic to your app
  • Dynamic Links Send users to the right place inside your app
  • Invites Empower your users to share your app
• Automatically gets connected to the Admob ANE to show detailed analytics.
• 100% identical AS3 API

Admob is a native extension that provides access to Admob on Android and iOS with 100% identical ActionScript API and an easy interface. It supports banner and interstitial ads, provides control over all required EventListeners, makes it possible to position the Ads by pixels and features a 100% identical AS3 API for Android and iOS.

GooglePlus-ANE is a native extension to use Google+ sharing capabilities. It is available for Android and iOS and allows developers to share content to Google+ directly from withing the application. The API can be used to authenticate (sign-in and sign-out) a user and share content, as well as check all those procedures using event.

On iOS, however, there isn’t a login screen, so users are redirected to the Google+ app. If it is not installed, the Google+ website will be displayed via Safari. Once the login is completed, the user is redirected back to the application. After that users won’t leave anymore your application. On Android, the users don’t have to leave the application to share content.

Sample

var _googlePlus:GooglePlus;

_googlePlus = new GooglePlus();
_googlePlus.addEventListener(GooglePlusEvent.LOGIN_FAILED, _loginFailed);
_googlePlus.addEventListener(GooglePlusEvent.LOGIN_SUCCESSED, _loginSuccessed);
_googlePlus.addEventListener(GooglePlusEvent.POST_NOT_SHARED, _postNotShared);
_googlePlus.addEventListener(GooglePlusEvent.POST_SHARED, _postShared);
_googlePlus.addEventListener(GooglePlusEvent.DISCONNECTED, _disconnected);

// Login
if (!_googlePlus.isAuthenticated()) {
	_googlePlus.login(_KEY);
} else {
	_googlePlus.disconnect();
}

// Share
if (_googlePlus.isAuthenticated()) {
	_googlePlus.share("Text title", "http://my/url", new _logoBitmap().bitmapData);
}

AR ANE is a native extension that provides augmented reality capabilities to applications on Android and iOS. It allows the application to open the device camera and detect targets using native code to handle all the processing. The extension will dispatch what it has found, so the developer is able to react to that information in the intended way.

Currently the extension is able to detect a planar region using the camera. The information related to that planar region, such as angulation and position, can be used to play a video within that identified area, for instance.
