Octopus - iOS Quick Start

Platforms

Signup or Login to Picovoice Console to get your AccessKey. Make sure to keep your AccessKey secret.

Install Xcode.
Install CocoaPods
Import the Octopus-iOS pod by adding the following line to the project's Podfile:

pod 'Octopus-iOS'

pod install

Create an instance of Octopus:

import Octopus

do {
    let octopus = try Octopus(accessKey: "${ACCESS_KEY}")
} catch { }

Index an audio file by passing in the absolute path to the file:

do {
    let metadata = try octopus.indexAudioFile(path: "${AUDIO_FILE_PATH}")
} catch { }

Search audio using the generated metadata object:

let phrases: Set<String> = ["gorilla", "terminator"]
let matches = try octopus.search(metadata: metadata, phrases: phrases)

Free resources used by Octopus:

metadata.delete();
octopus.delete();

For the Octopus iOS SDK, we offer a demo application that demonstrates how to use the Speech-to-Index engine on audio recordings.

Clone the Octopus repository from GitHub using HTTPS:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Picovoice/octopus.git

Before building the demo app, run the following to install the Octopus CocoaPod:

cd octopus/demo/ios/
pod install

Replace "${YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_HERE}" inside the ViewModel.swift file with your AccessKey obtained from Picovoice Console.
Open OctopusDemo.xcworkspace and run the demo.
