Enhance 'TalkToMe' App, Speech Recognition -- 2

Job ID: 39732879

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Project Overview: Upgrade & Enhance TalkToMe App (MIT App Inventor)

I'm looking to hire a skilled and experienced developer to enhance my existing MIT App Inventor project, TalkToMe. The app currently utilizes voice recognition to listen to user commands and responds via Text-to-Speech. However, it requires key improvements and feature additions to reach production quality.

Key Objectives:

Extend Speech Recognition Duration: Prevent early cut-off during voice input to improve user experience.

Add Advanced Voice Commands: Implement functionality for:

Weather updates

News headlines

Alarm setting and management

Complete Screen2 Functionality: Build out the second screen with relevant features and a consistent UI/UX.

Enable Background Operation: Allow the app to run in the background and respond to commands even when minimized.

Overlay & Multitasking Support: Enable voice command functionality while the app is running over or alongside other applications.

Monetization Integration: Implement in-app advertising or other monetization strategies in preparation for Google Play publishing.

Ideal Candidate Qualifications:

Strong proficiency in MIT App Inventor

Hands-on experience with voice recognition and Text-to-Speech APIs

Demonstrated background in mobile app development and Google Play Store deployment

Understanding of mobile monetization strategies (e.g., AdMob, in-app purchases)

The final deliverable should be a polished, fully functional, and Play Store-ready version of TalkToMe with all the features above implemented and tested.
