Windows Phone 8: Voice Commands Developer's Best Friend

Windows Phone 8: Speech

Published on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 12:03:19 PM UTC in Programming

Windows Phone 7 already has some speech features built into the system, for example voice commands that can be invoked by holding down the start button. As with many other features of this first generation of the platform, accessibility to these was extremely limited for app developers. Once again Windows Phone 8 not only heavily improves this situation, but it also adds a variety of completely new features that both developers and users will benefit from. In this article, I'll take a closer look at text to speech and its counterpart, speech to text (speech recognition).
