Timeslot: 11: 05 – 11:40
Speaker: Mark Rowe
Session: Cortana: Speech and Natural Language Experience for Windows Phone
Session Abstract:
Welcome to Cortana. The Windows Phone Speech APIs help you integrate your app into Windows Phone’s system-wide speech and natural language user experience. In this session we’ll demonstrate how you can extend the phone’s experience allowing users to launch YOUR APP by voice or text using free-form natural language commands. We will also look at how to enable voice-based conversational dialog interactions with users after your app has been launched, summarizing what’s different in the Windows Phone speech APIs.

Watch Demo:

Startup VS as Admin, then :

Null reference exception, added null handling in:
MainPage.xaml.cs : private async void InitializeRecognizer()

case AsyncStatus.Error:
//Added null handling.
if (operation != null && operation.ErrorCode != null)
{
hResult = operation.ErrorCode.HResult;
message = operation.ErrorCode.Message;
}
MessageBox.Show(String.Format(
AppResources.SpeechRecognitionErrorTemplate,
hResult,
message));

You may not need all this, but this is how we will be setting up the new laptop’s for demo.

Kinect, Mount and Leap are all very inexpensive so any route should be fine.

Until leap is supporting dll’s past 4.0  I’ll be putting out rebuilds of the SDK.

All DLL’s should be located here now.
