Use in your project

Simply drop translation_engine package in your project and start using wherever you like. Dont forget to add RECORD_AUDIO permission in Maninfest. For Marshmallow and above you will need to request permission (refer abstract class BasePermissionActivity in the demo).

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO" />
