Icelandic-language voice assistant app for iOS
The native Embla iOS client has been DEPRECATED. Embla on iOS is now implemented in Flutter
and all future development takes place in this repo.
Embla is an Icelandic-language voice assistant powered by the Greynir
query engine. This is the repository for the native Embla iOS client.
Written in Objective-C for iOS 13.0+. Probably only builds on a recent version of macOS.
Building the app requires Xcode 12+ and
CocoaPods.
After cloning the repository, run the following command from the repo root:
$ pod install
Once installation is complete, open Embla.xcworkspace with Xcode and build. Alternatively, you
can build an unsigned debug app binary by running the build script from the repository root:
$ ./build.sh
The build script requires xcpretty, which you can install
with the following command:
$ sudo gem install xcpretty
NB: In order to function correctly, the app requires a valid API key for Google’s Speech-to-Text API.
The key should be saved in the following text file:
Keys/GoogleAPI.key
The Embla iOS client uses Snowboy for hotword detection
and Google’s Speech-to-Text API for speech recognition.
