,Speech to Text API for windows store app in C#

Question

Are there any suggestion of Speech API which supports Windows Store Application in C#?
I found that the Microsoft Speech API dose not support it.
I would appreciate if someone give me a good solution ^^

Thanks

Answer 1

There isn't any text-to-speech API included in box, but you can call a web service to translate it. See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/translator/developers.aspx for information on the Microsoft Translator web service API.

Thanks for your suggestion, but i mean the use of Speech-To-Text not Text-To-Speech.

Is there any API which perform voice (just a short keyword) detection and match with created keyword commands i set in the application?

Answer 3

Hi,

Windows Store app doesn't have an API for voice recognition. Here is a reply from Rob in this thread, please have a look:

I asked a similar question here and I didn't get any helpful answers. I think we just need a quick and dirty Shazam like service. Microsoft has this implemented in Windows Phone search, I wish they opened it up for developers to use just for Audio signature comparison.

Answer 5

The same answer applies to Speech-toText as for Text-to-Speech.

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.
