AI Hearing App

The Initial Specification for the iOS App

We need to create a mobile iOS (later Android) app that pairs with a Bluetooth switch (hopefully a camera shutter button could work). The initial idea is that the user be able to secretly press the button while voicing a request. The app transcribes it and forwards the url-encoded text to a web API (I will create that API). The app then voices the text response to the hearing aid.

Again: The only thing the app has to do is trap the voice command given while the switch is pressed, transcribe it to text, post it to the API and then voice the API response to the hearing aid.

If something about what is described here is not practical or possible, please contact us am. However, remember that it is important that the use of this functionality is discreet, unknown to others who are present (that is the reason for the switch instead of voice activation).

We are in the conceptual stage, it is not clear if a shutter button can be paired to an app and if an app can quickly sense it being held down. Or if initial development could be done simply by using the microphone and speaker on the iPhone.
Of course, the app would have to be running for the functionality to work.
No work on the API is needed yet, the app only needs to call the API. Here is an example of a request encoded in the URL: https://tonyhansen.com/HearingAid?request=color+of+the+sky
