Speech to text in Windows Phone 7

Question

Is there any API that could convert speech to text offline in Windows Phone 7?

thanks

Answer 1

Kevin Marshall created an example that did just that using beta tools.

His blog post explaining this and a copy of his cna code can be found at http://blogs.claritycon.com/kevinmarshall/2010/05/12/windows-phone-7-prototype-001-speech-recognition-on- wp7 /

Answer 2

The offline API is currently unavailable, and it looks like the future direction for this is online - see the Hawaii project - http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/hawaii/students/default. aspx (version this should be released in February 2011)

Answer 3

Who would have thought that after 18 months the Hawaii project is still “intended for academic use only”, i.e. not yet ready for prime time in my book. A new “online alternative” has been added here: AT & T Speech to Text API.

API Information - https://developer.att.com/developer/apiDetailPage.jsp?passedItemId=10700023

The only drawback is the cost of $ 99 / year for using the AT & T API. Not a great solution if you give away your applications and do not get significant advertising revenue.
