Titanium Module for Voice Recognition on Android.

Description

Titanium Module for Voice Recognition on Android.

In nature, we can write Voice Recognition routine by the following blog entry, but the code in this entry did not work in Android 2.x and Titanium 2.0.1GA environment. This is because "Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivityForResult" function does not call callback function correctly.

    var voiceRecognitionProxy = speechModule.createVoiceRecognition();
    var callback_func = function (e) {
        var voice_recognition_enabled = e.voice_enabled;
        var voice_results = e.voice_results;
        if (e.voice_canceled) {
            alert("voice recognition canceled");
