When I do the following
conv.ask(new SimpleResponse({
speech:voiceResponse
}));
The audio response is played and the identical text is also displayed in the google assistant.
Only by providing text property that is an non empty string does it seem to override using the speech property as text as well.
Is there a way to eliminate the text altogether or is this by design/a bad practice?
This is by design, and a bad practice to not show text if available. In general, you should show essentially the same thing that you are saying. Although there are good cases to show something different, you usually want them to at least be mostly the same.
If you feel you need to mask what is being said (if this is a spelling game, for example), it might make sense to omit the word or something along those lines, but you still should show something.

There are some files like GEDCOM and ADIF that are plain text files, but many people tend to work with them through GUIs. Say I wanted to do data entry on these files directly without any GUI.There are a number of things that make this a little dangerous. Things like misspellings of necessary file-grammar, missing a necessary key, incorrect types for values, etc. There is also something to be said for the additional difficulty of having to type additional characters relative to a GUI.
From what I can tell by thinking about this for 15mins ;) is that having the following would make the job of plain text entry much easier.
A formatter. I think of something like Python's Black which is a CLI that can be run on a file. It can let users know of bad formatting and can provide fixes.
A linter. I think of flake8 to ensure the styling matches the standard.
Autocomplete. The file type examples I showed above have a dictionary of key words. To save on typing it would be nice to have autocomplete.
Syntax Highlighting. Having a way to know if my data entry is good or bad in real-time would be helpful.
It seems like requirements 1-2 could be solved by making a file specific CLIs that combs through plain text files.
Requirement 4 seems IDE specific. vim and vscode allow users to make syntax highlighting plugins. The problem is that this is normally solved by connecting to a language server. When you are not looking for a language server, but for key words and proper values in a plain text file how does let their IDE know that to look for? Is this just a regex soup solution or is there a better way?
Requirement 3 may also be IDE specific, but the same question applies as for requirement 4. When there is not a language server how can I let an IDE know what/how to autocomplete?
Any examples of plain text data entry made easier would be appreciated.
Thanks!
It seems like it's simply more straightforward to hard-code the text values. In an event that these values should be changed it seems like it would be more logical to search for the relevant UI element in each activity's xml layout file rather than look through the entire strings.xml. Of course if you have certain UI elements across multiple activities that all share the same text then this might be an exception (like a back button for instance), but generally there doesn't seem to be much advantage to storing these in the strings.xml. Am I missing something?
I will give you two reasons;
1 - Avoid duplication: all of your strings in one place. also, you can use string value many times. when you want to change it, there is one place to do the change. that makes it easier to maintain.
2 - Multi-language support: if you want to translate your strings to another language you must have all the strings in Strings.xml
let me know if you need more clarifications.
Basically I want to implement a fuzzy search that disregards language!
For example - let's say that there's an entry for "Hello World".
Now, I want this to work with:
"hello"
"henlp"
"руддщ" (these are the Russian characters if you try to type "hello" but forget to switch to English)
"рутдз" (same as above but with "henlp" instead of "hello")
"יקמךם" (same as above but in Hebrew)
etc.
Now the things that makes most sense to me is to ignore the actual text and regard their relevant keyCodes, which all obviously work universally).
I did thought about for each entry, saving an array which represents all key codes - and then implement fuzziness based on the already given keyCodes instead of chars, but that feels like I'm doing something wrong, or missing something that already exists.
So, from what I've gathered there's no implementation of fuzzy search that regards this.
Is there maybe an alogrithm (other than fuzzy search) that already regards this which I'm missing?
Currently trying to implement in Node.js but open for more languages and frameworks
I am trying to see if there is a way to underline a text posted to slack. I am using webhook for posting messages to slack.
You can approximate it with Unicode’s COMBINING LOW LINE character: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/0332/index.htm . Before posting, split your string along grapheme boundaries and insert a COMBINING LOW LINE after each. This sort of works, but with Slack’s default font the underline sometimes splits visually between characters. It’s enough though to give an impression, which might be what you want if, for example, you’re trying to give an example of the position of a link within a piece of text.
I don't think this can be done. See https://api.slack.com/docs/formatting for the available message formatting options.
I was using notepad++ to create a report and its taking a quite a while for me to type and do so.
Well i had tried a software called typing assistant it was really good(except for the money part :D).
TO the Point :
is there any way tat i can link a dict(text file of words) and use notepad ++ as typing assistant please tell me if so i
can speed my report.
Cause i am a programmer too so i really like the keyword completion and stuff .But is there a way to use it for text ?
already tried Phrase Express -.-:
Takes long and its kinda for macro text and text completion don't work tat fast for me to tab and complete
if there's a question in the form like mine link me to tat :
i searched it and i didn't get it
Yes, you can set up your own custom auto-complete dictionaries in notepad++. You need to create an xml file with your language name and put it under the plugins/APIs directory in notepad++. Of course this assumes you know how to write xml. There's a formal description of how to implement this here.
I've never tried to create an auto-complete dictionary for plain text files, so I'm not sure if it's possible, but I have successfully created them for user-defined languages, which you could also do if you can't get it to work with text files.
I'm not sure if this question is really a duplicate, but here is a very similar one, which may help you in your research.
