Speech-Enabling a Windows Phone 8 App,Part 2:ln-App Dialog

摘要

Last month, in part 1 of this two-part series, I discussed enabling voice commands in a Windows Phone 8 app. Here, I'll discuss dialog with the user in a running app using speech input and output. Once an app has been launched, many scenarios can benefit from interaction between the user and the phone using speech input and output. A natural one is in-app dialog. For example, the user can launch the Magic Memo app (see previous article) to go to the main page and then use speech recognition to enter a new memo, receive audio feedback and confirm the changes. Assuming no misrecognitions, the user can completely enter and save several memos without touching the phone (other than the first long push on the Start button).
