Nuance made a major announcement on 8/6/2012 about their new Nina technology, but the SDK does not seem to be available. I don't even find any documentation beyond marketing stuff (video etc.). Does anybody know how to use this SDK, or when/where it will be available ?
They made the announcement but it doesn't mean the product will be available soon for a wide audience. They just started one partnership to prove the technology work and you need to be a very big client in order for them to return your calls.
Luckily, there are other speech recognition and NLP providers out there. You should better check the ones who have the product available.
It looks like the main site is http://dragonmobile.nuancemobiledeveloper.com/public/index.php?task=home

I'm researching AR frameworks in order to select the best option for developing conference call/ meeting application for ODG glasses.
I got only a few directions for selecting a framework:
Performance of video streaming (capturing and encoding) must be watched closely to avoid overheating and excessive power consumption,
Should support extended tracking and
Video capturing should not be frame by frame.
I have no experience with AR field in general, and I would really appreciate if you can let me know your opinion or to give me some guidance on how to choose the best-fitted framework.
For ODG, you should use Vuforia according software details :
Qualcomm Technologies Inc.'s VuforiaTM SDK for Digital Eyewear
Vuforia supports extended tracking. According to what you are asking, you'll need more than just an AR SDK. You'll need to identify what you want exactly. Do you want an application that let the user see with who he's talking or do you want some holographic stuff? Depending on what you want, maybe smartglasses isn't what you need and at this point you should try to learn more about the differents SDK out there. I suggest you to look at this and that.
I have tried a lot but I was unable to use Pwinty api for my ios app. I tried Pwinty sample ios app but it was also not working. Please Help me Pwinty api is not returning the order id which have created with the post method.
If you're willing to try an alternative https://www.kite.ly have a dedicated iOS print SDK which might make your life much easier.
iOS Print SDK: https://github.com/OceanLabs/iOS-Print-SDK
Full disclosure: I'm cofounder of the company so a little biased, but our products and offerings also happen to be really really good (especially from a developer integration point of view) so I'll take any chance to shout about it ;)
We're all about high quality, beautiful personalised products and we're adding new ones all the time: Photo Prints, Magnets, Postcards, Posters, Stickers, Phone cases, etc, etc...
We also have:
REST Print API: https://www.kite.ly/docs/1.1/
Android Print SDK: https://github.com/OceanLabs/Android-Print-SDK
Several of our partners also have millions of users hitting our services so you'll be in good company!
Is there any way to track which visitors end up installing our iphone apps?
Basically conversion tracking for apps?
(I know linkshare is a possibility - but they're US only. I need it to be worldwide because 50%+ of our installs are from outside the US)
I bet a bunch of other developers are wondering too. Thanks for listening.
We just went through the same thing and we still haven't found a good solution. The most promising company we talked to was http://www.appsflyer.com/. We considered linkshare.com also but the solution is hacky to act as your own affiliate and they don't track free app conversions.
Take a look at Flurry.com they have a great tracking product. You can keep track of events within the app (like what buttons were clicked, which ViewControllers were shown... etc).
google mobile analytics
flurry analytics
both are useful products in usage tracking. flurry supports many platforms and google analytics has great interface.
http://www.positionapp.com/
used to be pretty good last time I used it.
Recently they deliver much slower responses, check them out anyways.
Flurry also has conversions to install tracking (outside the app).
Appsflyer and Mobileapptracking are also good solutions.
I have used distimo and I like their tracking system. You can also create campaigns with unique url and they will tell you, how many users did that particular campaign bring in.
Reading their stuff hurts my brain! Has anyone crossed this road?
I had an attorney look at it and the conclusion he came to was that if the app was not free, we could not use their API. I've heard of people getting a for-profit account with Google for using other services (routing, specifically), but I have not tried that approach yet.
Reading their stuff hurts my brain!
What were you reading?
The Google API ToS seems pretty straightforward. I don't see anything there that specifically prohibits use in commercial apps. There's a line in there about some APIs being offered under an open source license, and that license trumping provisions of the ToS, but I don't see any indication of that being the case for the chart API.
Of course, I am not a lawyer, and more importantly I'm not your lawyer. If you need legal advice, get it from someone qualified and paid to protect your interests.
Yes you can, other wise they wouldn't publish the API.
They do reserve the right to jam advertising into their charts.
[edit] From Google's page: http://code.google.com/apis/chart/
"Google chart tools are powerful, simple to use, and free."
That seems pretty straight forward.
Just got a car with the Microsoft sync system in it. Did a quick search online and was curious if anyone is aware of any SDK that may exist, sample open source add-on applications, etc.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
Looks like Ford has finally released their SDK:
https://developer.ford.com/
Ford has a website SYNC Mobile Application Developer Network but the SYNC SDK does not look to be available yet (their site mentions possibly later this year). It appears they are stilling working on the API before releasing it. All they are offering now is a way to register to be notified of new info as it becomes available.
From their About page:
Ford is hard at work developing an API
to allow developers to integrate their
Smartphone applications with SYNC. The
Developer Program website will educate
developers about the Ford SYNC
platform and how to interact with it
via the API. There will be a full set
of documentation, example
applications, reference libraries, and
even a developer forum so you can
reach out to the community for quick
help.
With the available SYNC API's, mobile
application developers will be able to
do some of the following:
Create a voice UI for your application using the in-vehicle
speech recognition system.
Write information to the radio head display or in-vehicle touchscreen
Speak text using text-to-speech engine.
Use the in-vehicle menu system to provide commands or options for
your mobile application
Get button presses from the radio and steering wheel controls.
Receive vehicle data (speed, GPS location, fuel economy, etc.)
The official API and full website
launch is set to be targeted for later
this year.
It looks like the SDK is coming very soon. The story was just posted on Engadget:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/18/ford-to-give-sync-some-app-store-flavor-opening-api-to-devs-in/
Now just imagine what you could do with access to your automobile functionality!
I don't think there is any. Its a closed ecosystem.
http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/09/ces-2009-sync-could-one-day-add-app-development-like-iphone/
From what I understand it is based on the CE 6.0 platform using windows automotive 4.1, but I could be wrong. We really need a forum to get this going. Hurry up Ford! Release the SDK!
Given the way Windows automotive is there is only two ways of putting a ROM on Sync. Using JTAG to put your own custom bootloader (forget it), or though the USB. Which you will need to know how to sign the file so sync will think it is an OEM ROM. So at this point even if you were able to come up with your own custom rom by using Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++ you would still have no way to get it on there.
BTW, the SDK they are talking about releasing will only be to develop apps for applink. (not modifying the OS). However, to upload the apps we might be able to find out how to sign the .bin file for sync to accept a ROM through the USB.
Then again this is just from my understanding... I am no great developer or anything.
