import { startRecognition, stopRecognition } from 'react-native-voice-to-text';


export default function App() {
  const [language, setLanguage] = React.useState('en-IN');

  async function startSpeechToText() {
    console.log('start speach recogination');
    try {
      const result = await startRecognition(language);
      console.log('Speech recognized: ', result);
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
    }
  }
  function stopSpeechToText() {
    stopRecognition();
  }

  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <TouchableOpacity style={styles.box} onPress={startSpeechToText}>
        <Text style={styles.text}>Start Speech-to-Text</Text>
      </TouchableOpacity>
      <TouchableOpacity onPress={stopSpeechToText}>
        <Text style={styles.text}>STOP Speech-to-Text</Text>
