Uh... Speech recognition. Duh. For like, Siri.

You might be able to use a SceneView. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't understand your question clearly. So this might not be the answer. But oh well.

You can create a SceneView:

sv = ui.SceneView()

Add your scene as a parameter of "sv", then use

main_view.add_subview(sv)

in your function.
Your button calls the function, the just clear the main_view and call the line above.

Just wondering if there if there is anyway to embed google maps into a ui. I would prefer not to have the website open in a Webview or webbrowser, but have it embedded in a ui. I don't want the search or the pop ups on Google maps website. I'm trying to create an app that will save a list of locations and give them back to you as you drive along. I would also like Google Maps Api in Pythonista, because that would help greatly in determining which saved location is closest.

Look at omz's Audio Recorder.py,
https://gist.github.com/omz/9882a00abf59c6009fa4
copy and save as audio.py
Change lines 63-74 to:

if started_recording:
    import speech, sound
	speech.say('Whatever you want it to say')
    #time.sleep(however many seconds long is the recording)
    #im not sure if say() is asynchronous, if so, uncomment last line
	msg(recorder, None, 'stop')
	msg(recorder, None, 'release')
    #sound.play_effect(os.abspath('Recording.m4a'))
    #uncomment last line if you want it to play again

When can I access the microphone? I want to make a recording app

Thanks for all the help guys. See, I am still trying to figure this out. All students get their own iPad mini with Pythonista on it. They are locked into Pythonista, but I want them coding without using webbrowser. I wish I could just access the internals of Pythonista and simply delete the module. In the meantime, I would settle for some parental restrictions in the module. I don't want the students randomly surfing the web, but sites like this one and stackoverflow might be fine. Any ideas?

I am teaching a classroom full of 14 year olds; their skill set might surprise you.

I want to remove it from the app. I want to delete webbrowser.py. I want to never be able to import webbrowser again, not only in the same program, but appwide.

I just want to get rid of the webbrowser module completely. So it is not on the app anymore.

Hello, I was wondering if I can add in-app purchases into my app. I read through apple's manual, but it is all in objc and swift. I was curious as to whether this can be accessed, maybe through objc-util. Is this possible? I want to release a free app and still make some money.

Does anybody else have ideas?

just curious, why cant you add it as a subview and present the mainview?

Say I wanted to release a very simple game on the app store FOR FREE. This might be a bit ambiguous, but how would I add advertisements to it? Would I get paid if I advertised other apps through mine? How does this work? I figured this was the right place to ask this question since I am making the app in Pythonista.

Try using ui.ImageView; it takes an image from PIL.Image.open() and if presented, displays it
