Speech to text api for jquery mobile phonegap app

The app in question is a phonegap app built using jquery mobile, javascript. It is meant for both Android and IOS.

I want to have a voice search(voice to text API/plugin) that can work on both the platforms.

Is there any such API/plugin available? If so then can it be used from within the javascript code? i.e : is it necessary to write native code in Java/Objective C in Eclipse/Xcode for Android/IOS respectively or can i simply call it from my html page.

I found CMUSphinx but I'm not sure how to use it from within the html pages that constitute the jquery mobile app.

Please help me out with this.

The project pocketsphinx.js (http://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js/) may help you. It consists on a port of pocketsphinx to javascript by using emscripten.

Pro: no network connection needed, no platform dependance

Cons: heavy (naturally you need to embed models), young, and seems to need some fixes

But for little needs on phonegap, it can be used.

Good luck
