i tried combine speech detector and speech transciber to anlayzer. but speech detector is not speech module. please help me

So experimenting with the new SpeechTranscriber, if I do: let transcriber = SpeechTranscriber( locale: locale, transcriptionOptions: [], reportingOptions: [.volatileResults], attributeOptions: [.audioTimeRange] ) only the final result has audio time ranges, not the volatile results. Is this a performance consideration? If there is no performance problem, it would be nice to have the option to also get speech time ranges for volatile responses. I'm not presenting the volatile text at all in the UI, I was just trying to keep statistics about the non-speech and the speech noise level, this way I can determine when the noise level falls under the noisefloor for a while. The goal here was to finalize the recording automatically, when the noise level indicate that the user has finished speaking.

So, I've been wondering how fast a an offline STT -> ML Prompt -> TTS roundtrip would be. Interestingly, for many tests, the SpeechTranscriber (STT) takes the bulk of the time, compared to generating a FoundationModel response and creating the Audio using TTS. E.g. InteractionStatistics: - listeningStarted: 21:24:23 4480 2423 - timeTillFirstAboveNoiseFloor: 01.794 - timeTillLastNoiseAboveFloor: 02.383 - timeTillFirstSpeechDetected: 02.399 - timeTillTranscriptFinalized: 04.510 - timeTillFirstMLModelResponse: 04.938 - timeTillMLModelResponse: 05.379 - timeTillTTSStarted: 04.962 - timeTillTTSFinished: 11.016 - speechLength: 06.054 - timeToResponse: 02.578 - transcript: This is a test. - mlModelResponse: Sure! I'm ready to help with your test. What do you need help with? Here, between my audio input ending and the Text-2-Speech starting top play (using AVSpeechUtterance) the total response time was 2.5s. Of that time, it took the SpeechAnalyzer 2.1s to get the transcript finalized, FoundationModel only took 0.4s to respond (and TTS started playing nearly instantly). I'm already using reportingOptions: [.volatileResults, .fastResults] so it's probably as fast as possible right now? I'm just surprised the STT takes so much longer compared to the other parts (all being CoreML based, aren't they?)

I have Xcode 16 and am setting everything to a minimum target deployment to 17.5, and am using import Speech Never the less, Xcode doesn't can't find it. At ChatGPT's urging I tried going back to Xcode 15.3, but that won't work with Sequoia Am I misunderstanding something? Here's how I am trying to use it: if templateItems.isEmpty { templateItems = dbControl?.getAllItems(templateName: templateName) ?? [] items = templateItems.compactMap { $0.itemName?.components(separatedBy: " ") }.flatMap { $0 } let phrases = extractContextualWords(from: templateItems) Task { do { // 1. Get your items and extract words templateItems = dbControl?.getAllItems(templateName: templateName) ?? [] let phrases = extractContextualWords(from: templateItems) // 2. Build the custom model and export it let modelURL = try await buildCustomLanguageModel(from: phrases) // 3. Prepare the model (STATIC method) try await SFSpeechRecognizer.prepareCustomLanguageModel(at: modelURL) // ✅ Ready to use in recognition request print("✅ Model prepared at: \(modelURL)") // Save modelURL to use in Step 5 (speech recognition) // e.g., self.savedModelURL = modelURL } catch { print("❌ Error preparing model: \(error)") } } }

I started playing which transcription of audio files on macOS today, latest beta of Xcode and latest beta of Tahoe. Transcription itself works really well, but for some reason the majority of the results contain no audioTimeRange. I got 22 single-word results with time ranges, spread out all over total file of 53 minutes. Is there something I can do to improve this? To my understanding, I have followed sample code and instructions very closely, but the SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp and other examples I've seen lead me to believe I should be getting a lot more time ranges than I actually do.

Using the official SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp from WWDC 2025, speech transcription takes 14+ seconds from audio input to first result, making it unusable for real-time applications. Environment iOS: 26.0 Beta Xcode: Beta 5 Device: iPhone 16 pro Sample App: Official Apple SwiftTranscriptionSampleApp from WWDC 2025 Configuration Tested Locale: en-US (properly allocated with AssetInventory.allocate(locale:)) and es-ES Setup: All optimizations applied (preheating, high priority, model retention) I started testing in my own app to replace SFSpeech API and include speech detection but after long fights with documentation (this part is quite terrible TBH) I tested the example (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/speech/bringing-advanced-speech-to-text-capabilities-to-your-app) and saw same results. I added some logs to check the specific time: 🎙️ [20:30:41.532] ✅ Analyzer started successfully - ready to receive audio! 🎙️ [20:30:41.532] Listening for transcription results... 🎙️ [20:30:56.342] 🚀 FIRST TRANSCRIPTION RESULT after 14.810s: 'Hello' (isFinal: false) Questions Is this expected performance for iOS 26 Beta, because old SFSpeech is far faster? Are there additional optimization steps for SpeechTranscriber? Should we expect significant performance improvements in later betas?

We are a research team conducting a study collecting subject's SensorKit speech data, and we've encountered some questions we couldn't resolve ourselves or by looking up the online SensorKit documentation: Microphone Activation: In general, how is the microphone being turned on to capture a speech session? And how was each session determined to be an independent session? Negative Values: In the speech classification data, there are entries where some of the start and end values are negative (see screenshot below). How should we interpret and handle these values? Is it safe to filter them out? Duplicated sessions: From the same screenshot you can see there are multiple session identifiers linked to the same subject with the same timestamp - what does this represent? Another Negative Values: The same question for speech recognition data's average pause duration, what does the -1 mean and should we remove them as well? (Note that these screenshot got rid of subject IDs for privacy purposes but each screenshot was from one subject.) We greatly appreciate your time and help.

Hello, I am testing the sample project provided here: Bringing advanced speech-to-text capabilities to your app. On both macOS 26.0 beta and iOS 26.0 beta, the app crashes immediately on launch with a dyld "Symbol not found" error related to FoundationModels.framework. It feels like this may be related to testing primarily on newer Apple Silicon devices, as I am seeing consistent crashes on an Intel MacBook and on an older iPhone device. I would appreciate any insight, confirmation, or guidance on whether this is a known limitation or if there is a workaround. Is it planned to be resolved soon?

I am trying to use SpeechDetector Module in Speech framework along with SpeechTranscriber. and it is giving me an error Cannot convert value of type 'SpeechDetector' to expected element type 'Array.ArrayLiteralElement' (aka 'any SpeechModule') Below is how I am using it let speechDetector = Speech.SpeechDetector() let transcriber = SpeechTranscriber(locale: Locale.current, transcriptionOptions: [], reportingOptions: [.volatileResults], attributeOptions: [.audioTimeRange]) speechAnalyzer = try SpeechAnalyzer(modules: [transcriber,speechDetector])

I am trying to use the new SpeechAnalyzer framework in my Mac app, and am running into an issue for some languages. When I call AssetInstallationRequest.downloadAndInstall() for some languages, it throws an error: Error Domain=SFSpeechErrorDomain Code=1 "transcription.ar asset not found after attempted download." The ".ar" appears to be the language code, which in this case was Arabic. When I call AssetInventory.status(forModules:) before attempting the download, it is giving me a status of "downloading" (perhaps from an earlier attempt?). If this language was completely unsupported, I would expect it to return a status of "unsupported", so I'm not sure what's going on here. For other languages (Polish, for example) SpeechTranscriber.supportedLocale(equivalentTo:) is returning nil, so that seems like a clearly unsupported language. But I can't tell if the languages I'm trying, like Arabic, are supported and something is going wrong, or if this error represents something I can work around. Here's the relevant section of code. The error is thrown from downloadAndInstall(), so I never even get as far as setting up the SpeechAnalyzer itself. private func setUpAnalyzer() async throws { guard let sourceLanguage else { throw Error.languageNotSpecified } guard let locale = await SpeechTranscriber.supportedLocale(equivalentTo: Locale(identifier: sourceLanguage.rawValue)) else { throw Error.unsupportedLanguage } let transcriber = SpeechTranscriber(locale: locale, preset: .progressiveTranscription) self.transcriber = transcriber let reservedLocales = await AssetInventory.reservedLocales if !reservedLocales.contains(locale) && reservedLocales.count == AssetInventory.maximumReservedLocales { if let oldest = reservedLocales.last { await AssetInventory.release(reservedLocale: oldest) } } do { let status = await AssetInventory.status(forModules: [transcriber]) print("status: \(status)") if let installationRequest = try await AssetInventory.assetInstallationRequest(supporting: [transcriber]) { try await installationRequest.downloadAndInstall() } } ...

Hello, I'm trying to determine the best/recommended AVAudioSession configuration (i.e category, mode, and options) for the following use-case. Essentially, I'd like to switch between periods of playing an audio file and then recognizing speech. The audio file is typically speech and I don't intend for playback and speech recognition to occur simultaneously. I'd like for the user to sill be able to interact with Siri and I'd like for it to work with CarPlay where navigation prompts can occur. I would assume the category to use is 'playAndRecord', but I'm not sure if it's better to just set that once for the entire lifecycle, or set to 'playback' for audio file playback and then switch to 'playAndRecord' for speech recognition . I'm also not sure on the best 'mode' and 'options' to set. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I am a developer planning to build an application using Apple's new SpeechTranscriber technology. I am facing an issue where SpeechTranscriber is not available on my iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd generation, model number: MXDC2J/A), even though I have updated it to iPadOS 26. I was under the impression that SpeechTranscriber would be available on any device running iPadOS 26. Could you please clarify if this is incorrect? Furthermore, I am planning to purchase a new iPad with an A16 chip for the development and deployment of this application. Can you confirm if SpeechTranscriber will be fully functional on an iPad equipped with the A16 chip? Thank you for your assistance.

I have some question about the TTS My device default language is zh-HK.

Hello Apple Engineers, I am developing a feature related to SpeechRecognizer (import Speech), and I have two questions: After adding the NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription key in my Info.plist, when I initialize an SFSpeechRecognizer instance, the system shows an authorization alert. The alert contains a pre-defined message from Apple: “Speech data from this app will be sent to Apple to process your requests. This will also help Apple improve its speech recognition technology.” Is it possible to remove or customize this message? My app runs in a network environment with a whitelist. I need to know which URL the SFSpeechRecognizer instance connects to, and which port it uses, so that I can add it to the whitelist. Thank you very much for your support! Best regards, Yu Cheng

I am developing an app with transcription and I am exploring ways to improve the transcription from the SpeechAnalyzer/Transcriber for technical terms. SFSpeech... recognition had the capability of being augmented by contextualStrings. Does something similar exist for SpeechAnalyzer/Transcriber? If so please point me towards the documentation and any sample code that may exist for this. If there are other options, please let me know.

I am trying to use SpeechTranscriber from Speech framework. Is it possible to use it on Simulator of iOS 26 (Mac OS Tahoe)? Function "supportedLocales" returns an empty array.

Hi everyone 👋 I’m building an iOS app in Swift where I want to do the following: Record the user’s voice Transcribe the spoken sentence (speech-to-text) Auto-detect the spoken language Translate it to another language selected by the user (e.g., English → Spanish or Hindi → English) Speak back (text-to-speech) the translated text on the same device Is this possible to record via phone mic and play the transcribe voice into headphone's audio?

Hello, I am wondering if it is possible to have audio from my AirPods be sent to my speech to text service and at the same time have the built in mic audio input be sent to recording a video? I ask because I want my users to be able to say "CAPTURE" and I start recording a video (with audio from the built in mic) and then when the user says "STOP" I stop the recording.
