google-cloud-speech - How to give feedback to Google for the transcript in French - google-cloud-speech

I'm testing the API in French but for instance when I prononce the first name "Jules", i receive the transcript "Jul" which is incorrect.
How can I inform Google to change the transcript?

Currently, there's no way to give feedback regarding the results of the transcriptions. However, to improve your results, I suggest either using the SpeechContext phrases,the best practices or do the troubleshooting steps.

Yahoo finance no longer work?

I used to get exhange rate from yahoo finance api by javascript with following url:
http://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/jpy=x,eur=x/quote?format=json
but now it no longer work! I have search on the net but no luck.
Any help would be great, Thank!
Update: it is working if open with chrome mobile
Yes, it seems like Yahoo! has discontinued the (private, mostly-undocumented) Yahoo Finance API that many have been using for their currency data. All responses seem to be returning "Not a valid parameter". I suppose there's a chance they may switch it back on, but they don't officially support that API anywhere as far as I can tell.
I created Open Exchange Rates about five years ago, and our exchange rate API now supports a community of tens of thousands of developers - and their tens of millions of users - with accurate, up-to-date information.
Please feel welcome to check out our Forever Free service at https://openexchangerates.org.
Our API is in a simple, original JSON format, which has actually caught on as a standard method for displaying rates because it's so simple to work with (unlike the Yahoo API, which required you to parse the obscure nested objects to pull out the basic info you needed...)
If you need assistance porting from the deprecated Yahoo! API, we'll be happy to assist via email.

indrakula is right, and their response helped me, but...
I also needed to retrieve exchange rate tickers (i.e. USDGBP=X). This was not trivial, and I had to do some searching. The URL format in this case is http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=CURRENCY%3aUSDGBP. This URL returns a JSON body and not something else as the alternative URLs mentioned in one of the comments for that reply. Also note the link with the parameter descriptions seems to be out-of-date, but I found most of them are self-explanatory. So don't rely on that link.
Note: I wanted to post this as a comment to indrakula's answer, but one needs 50 reputation to comment! I'm new! I tried to submit this as an edit to their answer but it was (rightly) refused.
use google http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=GOOGL

Method of integrating a certain persons Twitter account into iOS App

In my app so far, I have to implement all the Twitter posts from a certain individual into a table view, and it automatically updates when the person tweets a certain post. Is it possible to mention a certain individual e.g. #John.. If it is possible, how can I do it? If not just let me know and I will delete this question as it could be too ambitious. Thanks!
I don't quite understand what you mean. I do a little!
There is a quick and easy way of doing this! One easy way is to use Twitters own SDK called Fabric. See Here
See this link for the timeline stuff and integration to your app Documentation
This should help you out!
P.S. Let me know how you get on!

IOS : How to get song id using echonest Api

I want to make app like shazam in IOS using echonest Api.
I have referred document of echonest and I found that They are not provided song identification Api ”https://developer.echonest.com/forums/thread/3650”
1. Is there any Api for music identification?
or
2. How can I identify song using echonest Api?
Please share your answer
Thanks for advance for any help.
Welcome to Stack Overflow!
As it says in the link you used, Echonest is deprecating their song identification capabilities on their API starting January 5, 2015. So to answer your 2nd question first... you can't use their APIs anymore.
As for your 1st question, that's a fairly broad question and loaded with opinion (two things that stack overflow frowns upon). But I'll try my best.
Mooma.sh was mentioned as an alternative song identification service further down the page in the link that you posted. However, they ALSO are shutting down their public API due to server load. They provided steps for you to set up and start your own server, here.
Gracenote could be another possible alternative. I have tried neither of these APIs, but if you do some quick googling you should be able to find a service that best fits your needs.
Good luck!

Can the REDDIT Api be used to send a PM to another Reddit user?

I have been looking at the REDDIT api documentation, and just by looking at it, it seems that one CANNOT(?) send a PM message to another Reddit user. Please, prove me wrong :)
Is it possible to see another user's subredddit subscriptions?
Thanks for any input.
You can send PMs through reddit's API with compose.
You cannot see other users' subreddit subscriptions.
Depending on the language you are using, you may want to look at existing API libraries. In my experience PRAW for python is the most feature-complete (disclosure: I am the package maintainer).

Getting stats for Twitter app

I'm using Twitter's OAuth for my app (DroidIn)
To my dismay I can't find any way to track who and how often is using the app. Searching Twitter for "sent from DroidIn" does not yield any results. I suppose I can call some sort of counter app from my code but that doesn't seem to be fair to my users. Any ideas or suggestions?
It seems that yet again I have to answer my own question. After some investigation and feedback from question posted on Google Twitter developer group it seems that for now there are no stats easily accessible or available. Said that I found 2 interesting things:
You can search Twitter using source:yourapp switch. For example you can try this query
android source:API
There is very exciting streaming API from Twitter. I have a short write-up in my dev blog.
But if you want some actual stats there's no other choice today but implement it as part of your app. There's one more possibility if you have some sort of web-based interface you may want to use Google Analytics to trigger some Google javascript while submitting the update. I'm trying that right now and may end up with article in the blog
