[Q] Sound Recognition - Java for Android App Development

I need to make an Android app that can recognize certain sound files created by me, and do an action on recognition. So something similar to Shazam/Soundhound, but with my own sound files. Is there any API or SDK or something for this? I've been reading about Echoprint and Gracenote, but I still can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone provide any help, info, examples?
PS: To make it clear, i don't want voice recognition, or text-to-speech. My sound files can have music, distorted voice, effects etc. What I want is done with audio fingerprinting
PPS: the exact same thing was done in the Star Trek Into Darkness app, where you put your phone to listen to a trailer, and it does something on recognition

Wav Recording Software

Back in the days of WM 6.1 on my other device I had a built-in notes sound recorder application that recorded wav files. In the wm6.5 roms it no longer appears to be included.
Does anyone know of a small footprint wav similar to the old one where I can choose the bitrate?

Well off hand I've got nothing for you that does wavs but maybe you'd prefer something that does what you want but in mp3 on the fly, letting you adjust the bitrate and mono/stereo. Doesn't seem to let you record straight to wav but you can convert formats back and forth after a recording. Save a lot of space with mp3...
NoteM is the name. Give it a whirl and if it's not what you had in mind say so and I'll dig for something else.

I don't know how big the footprint is has and it isn't free but VITO AudioNotes does what you want plus in addition to helping you take your voice notes you can set it on voice activated mode to stash the phone somewhere and spy on people. $7
Now you may have zero interest in this but while we're on the subject you can use your phone as a multitrack recorder with MeteOR.
Microsoft Recite may be up your alley. IIRC it lets you take your voice notes and then you can later search for your old notes using your voice. That's about all I know about it. They discontinued it but I've still got a copy for you here.

Running apps, voice feedback and music levels

Anyone on here use any of the runners applications,
I have tried practically all of them and the problem I am coming up against on the Galaxy is they all use the music level to speak out the voice announcement, which is far to loud if I have my music up.
is there anyway around this or anyone know of an app that enables you to adjust the level of the announcement lower ?

[Q] Is it possible to extract/copy the audio from S-notes?

I have Nuance Dragon for speech recognition on my laptop, & I just found a feature to transcribe audio recordings into text. I use S-notes in my college lectures, & audio record, while I take notes. I was curious if there was a possible way to take the audio from each s-note page, copy it onto my computer in a recognizable format, & then transcribe it with Nuance Dragon, so I can add then e-mail the text to myself, and add it to those S-notes. Does anyone do this, or know a good way to do this/know how i can start searching for what it is that i need? Thank you!

[Q] Get Adapt Sound To Work Globally?

Adapt Sound for any of you guys that didn't know makes the sound quality 20 times better. I listened to a song in the Samsung music app and then listened to the same song at the same volume in Winamp and it sounded terrible.
I'm trying to find a way to make adapt sound global, because I absolutely hate the Samsung music app. I'd much rather use Winamp or Poweramp because of all the extra features.
It'd be AWESOME if someone figured out a way to make adapt sound global and put it into a custom ROM, or even made a MOD out of it.
Edit: If you don't believe me test it out for yourself. Go to Settings>My Device>Sound>Adapt Sound, once you get there do the little hearing test, and then play a song in the samsung music app.

WOW!
Was using Neutron thinking it gives the best possible sound.. Until now!
It's unbelievable the difference!
Adapt sound and Neutron would be a killer combination!

Does equalizer app work universally for you? Granted with some eq adjustments, it seems to lower the output level, but I'm still curious if it fixes your issue. Yes, you will have to disable or freeze the built in eq app in touchwiz, for it to work properly.
I might have stumbled on a clue towards applying Adapt Sound globally or with different music apps.. I was fiddling around with it the other day, and then I was testing the Samsung music app and Google Play Music. Of course, music played through Play Music did not enable the Adapt Sound.
However, when I was listening to a song in Play Music, I thought I'd open the Samsung music app to try to run a comparison, and as soon as I opened it, it applied the Adapt Sound to the music that was playing through Play Music! It seems that when the Samsung music app opens, it enables the Adapt Sound regardless if it's actually playing anything or not, and simply keeping it open in a second window (I'm on a Galaxy Note 3) kept the Adapt Sound enabled! As soon as I closed the Samsung music app, the Adapt Sound was disabled and the sound reverted to the default. Perhaps this may give a clue on how Adapt Sound is applied through the Samsung music app, and perhaps make it possible to make a widget with a button that can enable or disable the Adapt Sound feature.

Any news on this? Maybe a similar app that does the same thing and works on all apps, or a root method to apply Samsung's feature globally?
I hope this is not too late :0
There's only one complicated way to use adapt sound globally... I'll try to explain as good as I can.
You WILL need a rooted phone to make this work.
There's an equalizer app called ViPER4Android, which doesn't only have kick-ass features, but also has a built in "convolver"
So what's a convolver? Basically it lets you simulate effects on audio. It works by having an audio clip, and and another one which has effects on it (in our case adapt sound) and comparing them together to see what changes occurred
You basically take a sine sweep (an audio clip that goes from low frequency to high), and record it paying on your device with adapt sound on (connect your phone to your microphone port by a 3.5mm cable)
Then you import these two clips to an app that can generate convolver presets (Aka impulse response samples)
The result you get is a .Wav file that you put on your phone and select as your convolver presets. And that's it!
What's even more kick-ass is that Viper4android works on neutron. So you're basically combining them three together. You can even think how this sounds.
Hope you found this helpful!

I'm looking for way so replicate the benefits of Adapt Sound (as it works on the Note 7) on my Nexus 6P. The key to adapt sound is the way it creates a profile based on my subjective input (testing my hearing with a given set of headphones; this varies per headphones even). The rest of the eq's and fx processors out there are gimmick to me becaues they are TOTALLY subjective and/or just fluff. You hit the nail on the head with your post; a convolver that is based on the profile created by Adapt Sound. Can you explain more how you have acted on that idea? Ideally (and I might have to try this with Pro Tools), I'd run a sweep on the Note 7 with my profile, record out out the headphone jack, then compare to the sweet and I'd get a diff I could feed to a convolver. If I understand you right, I would do just that, then Viper4Android (which I don't know much about) could apply that andn give me the same effect on my Nexus 6P?
Same idea... I think it can be do next simple way- there is several apps like audiologia.pl that is can make yours audio metrics to left and right channels. All we need to do next it's manualy change eq. setting in V4A or else to normalize sound... BUT there is NO 2 way (two channels L/R) or two different equalizers to left and right channels. Maybe someone can give me information why it is so? Mayby it's hardware impossible?
Adapt sound is a killer feature of samsung phones. I miss it in any non samsung phone I have.
I believe there is a simple way to port it but I never dug the problem.
It's weird that nobody did it until now.

Yes, it was available on Symbian. But on Android it is not available, at the moment.
