I have developed an app using the Google speech Api v1
https://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize?xjerr=1&client=chromium&lang="+language_code;
and this link was used to get the response. It was working fine but just from today it's not working. I am not getting any response from that link. Any one have any idea? Is there any alternative links? Please help

}

if (jsonArray.length() != 0) {

confidence_level = Double.parseDouble(jsonArray
.getJSONObject(0).getString("confidence"));
} else if (jsonArray.length() == 0) {
}
// output=resultContent.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
output = "";
confidence_level = -1;
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("ERROR IN PARSING:", e.toString());
if (e.toString().contains("java.net.UnknownHostException:")||e.toString().contains("java.net.SocketException")) {
return "NETWORK ISSUE";
}
}
return null;
}
Is anyone else having the same problem?.
Recently Google closed v1 API. V2 API now requires a key and streaming v2 API is limited to 50 requests per day. You can get a key as described here:
http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/api-keys
However there are no guarantees on unlimited usage.
