[U8.1]Bing Voice Recognition for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 metro app

Question

I want to add voice recognition to an application destined for Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 8.1 metro app. I have used Bing Voice Recognition (https://datamarket.azure.com/dataset/bing/speechrecognition), and after registering I got an example of how it works, that uses the library System.Data.Services.Client. The problem is that I can not add reference to that library from my Windows Phone and metro app projects. Also, it asks for credentials, but after registration I got only one key. I have tried to register the app in  Azure Marketplace to get the credentials, but I got an error message, possibly because I have not filled correctly the information.

How can I get the projects to compile? And what do I have to do to get the credentials? Thank you

Hi AnaBGallardo,

>>after registering I got an example of how it works, that uses the library System.Data.Services.Client. The problem is that I can not add reference to that library from my Windows Phone and metro app projects

You don't need to do this, please see this official sample: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Speech-Recognition-19c452b4

This sample demonstrates the Bing Speech Recognition Control by creating an immersive custom UI instead of using the standard SpeechRecognizerUx control.

The important thing is, if you want to create app for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1, this control will only be supported in Windows 8.1 app.

I would suggest you using Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis API: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows.media.speechsynthesis.aspx

See this sample to get started: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/MSDN-Voice-Search-for-95c16d92

Hi Franklin Chen,

Thanks for your reply; I tried to use the Bing Speech Recognition Control, but when I went to register to it in Azure Marketplace I found that it is not available in my market. After searching in the marketplace, I found that other service I mention in my first message, the Bing Voice Recognition, but I have found very little documentation about it.
