Hi Maitha Khanji

As you mentioned in the post, you need to work with standard Andoird and iOS assistants.

So it' beyond OutSystems, And you can't control it.

I don't think it's possible to create your own assistants even using mobile native development. 

Kind Regards,

Hi Tom,

thanks for your reply. 

Just to clarify, i don't want to create assistants,  the speech recognition plugin  is already working within the app itself and it performs some actions within our app. But we want users to be able to open the app itself using speech as well. For example "Hey Siri, open myApp" or any other way to open this app using voice. 

thanks,

for example, can i use DialogFlow to let the app open using voice? 

there is "Siri Shortcuts" plugin https://www.outsystems.com/forge/Component_Overview.aspx?ProjectId=5499   but it is for Outsystems 10 we have Outsystems 11 

I did some search, I will share it so that others can benefit.

Following are some possible options for opening your mobile apps using speech for Android and iPhone.

Android

• Adding Routines in Google Assistant settings in Andoird -->  easy and simple you can use any key phrase of your choice to open the app. I tested it and it is working perfectly.  https://www.maketecheasier.com/create-customized-google-assistant-commands/
• DialogFlow --> requires subscription to API (payment), setting authentication ..etc https://www.outsystems.com/forge/Component_Documentation.aspx?ProjectId=2306&ProjectName=dialogflow-connector

iPhone

• In case your app name is not a pure English word (which is my case), you can add Vocabulary to the voice control of iOS but users need to do few steps  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210417
• Siri Shortcuts, in order to add a shortcut for an app and use a voice command, the app should support Siri shortcuts --> there is an Outsystems forge component for it, but it is for Outsytesms 10, we have 11. https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/siri-shortcuts-3678501/
• Native iOS development
