Answer 2

Thanks Ken

But your given link does not help in my problem because it is for text to speech but I need speech to text 

Answer 3

I recently started searching the internet for speech to text (speech recognition) api or coding for windows 8 app development.  What I've found is that people who answer these inquiries are almost always dyslexic about the phrase.  95% of the cases when a person asks about speech to text, people will answer en mass about text to speech. 

I saw your question last night and I immediately predicted that the first answer to your question will be about text to speech.  I should really apply to be a fortune teller.

Anyway, to answer your question, windows 8 does not have an api for speech to text, or speech recognition.  However, there is a poorly documented speech recognition api for 8.1.  For now, the documentation for it is completely written in programming jargon to prevent us amateurs from understanding.  I think it's their way of being the equivalent to Linux 1337.

Hopefully, better documentation will arrive soon.

Hi, Rai

Just as huge_newbie says, there is no in-box API for this for Windows Store apps, so you will need to find a 3rd party API or call out to a web service to do the translation.

Best Wishes!

Bing released a speech to text control you might want to look into. You should find it available in the Visual Studio gallery or download it as VSIX package. See @ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn434583.aspx
