New ActionScript Native Extension – Speech Recognition
by Immanuel Noel on Dec.07, 2011, under Flex, Tech
Here is a Speech Native Extension that takes advantage of the Android’s speech recognition APIs.
Here is what the ANE does,
- Provide an API to check if the feature is supported.
- Provide an API to launch the default speech recognition UI and capture voice input.
- Trigger events based on the success or failure of the above call.
- In case of success, the appropriate event has information of the best match !
- In case of failure, the appropriate event is fired.
Moving on from Evangelism…
by Immanuel Noel on Dec.06, 2011, under Uncategorized
Its been just over a year since I had the privilege of joining the India Evangelism Team at Adobe. Had an opportunity to speak at reputed conferences, visit institutions, work with a super cool team on some amazing pieces of work and meet most of you!
I will now be moving on to the Flash Runtime team within Adobe. What this means is, I will not appear on stage at the frequency I was, but work more on the background with the teams that enable you build all those awesome interactive experiences! I also plan to keep my blog and twitter stream flowing, so don’t drop your bookmarks yet 
Looking for exciting opportunities ahead!

My existing domain, immanuelnoel.com is still going to be the primary domain. Your old bookmarks should not be affected.

Toast on AIR for Android
by Immanuel Noel on Jan.03, 2011, under Flex
Here’s a component which behaves as a ‘Toast’ for AIR applications running on Android. The component can essentially be used across any Flex application, since it is an ActionScript class.
For those of you who don’t know, Toast is the small transparent alert that pop’s up (and doesn’t block your UI) when u set an alarm on Android phones !
