Building Voice First Apps
summary
Concrete checklist of what actually works and how: iOS provides four usable pieces — wake word detection, Speech framework (1 minute limit), Natural Language framework, and AVSpeechSynthesizer — plus Siri Shortcuts/Intents that delegate handling if the app fits the domains. iOS 13 adds on-device speech support; third‑party engines like snips and Pico voice run offline or as server models and let you mix and match architectures for cross‑platform reuse. Practical examples show what needs the app open, what can run closed, and where accuracy and UX fail.
