Speech Recognition in iOS 10 and Xamarin

On September 7 Apple introduced it's newest phone operating system, iOS 10, a gold master version of the XCode programming language and the iOS SDK Xamarin followed up the next day with binding support for iOS10 APIs, and developers were off to the races. Apple supplied the final releases of iOS10 and developer tools the next week after, and Xamarin had updates in less than 24 hours.

Technology happens that quick these days.

In this and future articles (depending on how you respond to this one), I'll highlight some of the new features in iOS10 and Xamarin's support of these features. Since we aren't going to attempt to cover everything here, I'd like to look especially at what I think will be useful now, and this time we'll cover speech recognition capabilities to get you started. Speech recognition is getting more useful as an input option for apps where users need to be less distracted (when driving, for example).
