C#: Speech to text how does it work?

Question

Hi everyone,

I am new to writing apps for windows phone 7 so please go easy on me if I misunderstand anything.

I am trying speech to text and from researching, I saw that for text to speech process is like this:

1) enter text; 2) call web services to process the text; 3) use microsoft text to speech API to convert text to wav; 4) decode the byte array with wav decoding class; 5) playback wav stream with silverlight mediaElement.

So I am wondering, for speech to text do you reverse the process above (except user speak into mic)??

Any ideas or solutions help! Thanks.

Hi june-29:

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

I think Cornel Croitoriu has given some useful suggestions.

But this is C# forum. You'll need to post it in the dedicated Windows Phone 7 Forum for more efficient responses, where you can contact Windows Phone 7 experts.

Thank you for understanding.
