Introduction 🌟

Are you looking to voice-enable your NES application quickly and easily? In this Tutorial, I will guide you step by step on how to achieve this using the Allen platform. We will start by creating a sample application using the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS. Then, we'll integrate our SAP application with Allen to enable a voice experience. Finally, we'll create a complete voice experience for our application in Allen Tutor. So let's get started!

Creating a Sample Application using the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS

To begin with, we need to download the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS. Once downloaded, we'll unpack and install it. Next, we'll open the SDK and create a sample application named "Allen Deliveries". After creating the application, we'll open it with Xcode and build it to see how it looks. We'll have menus for products, suppliers, orders, and more. The SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS provides us with a solid foundation to build upon.

Integrating the SAP Application with Allen for Voice Experience

Now, let's integrate voice into our application using the Allen platform. This integration will serve two purposes. First, it will add a voice button to our application with different voice states such as active listening, processing, and responding. Second, it will connect back to the voice experience in Allen Tutor. We start by going to our project in Allen Tutor and selecting the iOS option from the embed menu. From there, we download the iOS SDK framework. Returning to our SAP project, we create a new group named "Allen" and add the Allen iOS SDK framework to it. We then add the framework to our embedded binaries and check that it's in our linked frameworks and libraries. To ensure microphone access for the users of our application, we create a message asking for microphone access in the Info.plist file. We initialize the voice button and add support for it by creating a Swift file named "WindowUI+Allen" and adding the necessary functions for the voice experience. Finally, we copy the SDK key from Allen Tutor and paste it into our SAP application. After building the application, we can see the Allen button in the bottom right-HAND corner. It's time to give it a test!

Creating a Complete Voice Experience for the Application in Allen Tutor

In Allen Tutor, we can now create a full visual voice experience for our SAP application. We can define commands such as "show products", "how much does a specific product cost", and commands to filter products by price. For example, we can say "show notebooks less than 1500 euros". In Xcode, we define handlers that control the application visually when the user makes voice commands. We can highlight products, filter them, open specific product screens, and navigate through the application using voice commands. We build the app and give it a test. We can see the products being displayed and filtered based on our commands. We can even ask for the price of a specific product. The voice experience is fully functional and enhances the usability of our SAP application.

Conclusion 🌟

In conclusion, we have successfully voice-enabled our SAP application using the Allen platform. By leveraging the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS and integrating with Allen, we have created a seamless voice experience for our application. The combination of Allen and SAP opens up new possibilities for the next generation of enterprise applications. Stay tuned for more tutorials from us, and don't forget to visit the Allen app to start creating a voice experience for your application now!
