How To Hide Toast Message “your Audio Will Be Sent To Google To Provide Speech Recognition Service.” In Android?

I am using google speech recognizer for integrating voice services in Android but while pressing on mic button this annoying toast message is showing. Please suggest me a way to hi

Solution 1:

Based on android regulations you cannot hide system toast messages as you don't have the accesses to the system View,

only in jailbrake android where you have access to the terminal you can try to do that.

Solution 2:

You can make a custom speech recogniser which will give you more control over the UI. MainActivity opens a new DialogFragment which implements RecognitionListener .

publicclassMainActivityextendsAppCompatActivityimplementsVoiceRecognizerInterface {
    Button button ;
    TextView textView;
    Stringstring;

    @OverrideprotectedvoidonCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        button = findViewById(R.id.button);
        textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);
        button.setOnClickListener(newView.OnClickListener() {
            @OverridepublicvoidonClick(View v) {
                FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
                if (fragmentManager != null && fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag("dialogVoiceRecognizer") == null && !isFinishing()) {
                    VoiceRecognizerDialogFragment languageDialogFragment = newVoiceRecognizerDialogFragment(MainActivity.this,MainActivity.this);
                    languageDialogFragment.show(fragmentManager, "dialogVoiceRecognizer");
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @OverridepublicvoidspokenText(String spokenText) {
        textView.setText(spokenText);
    }
}

An interface to signal the main activity after stt.

publicinterfaceVoiceRecognizerInterface {
    voidspokenText(String spokenText);
}

The custom SpeechToText Dialog.

    ImageView micImage;
    TextView stateTV;
