Using the Speech Recognition and Synthesis .NET APIs

Course Overview
(music ) Hello everyone, my name is Tony Thorsen, and welcome to my course, Using the Speech Recognition and Synthesis. NET APIs. I'm a developer, author, and owner at Mark 8 Technologies with about 10 years of development experience. With the advent of digital assistance, like Siris, Cortana, and Alexa, speech recognition and synthesis have been on the rise in recent years, enabling users a more hands-free approach to interacting with technology. In this course, we're going to explore how to add similar functionality to. NET applications using the speech recognition and synthesis APIs the framework offers. Some of the major topics that we will cover include what speech recognition and synthesis actually are, building custom grammars for speech recognition, customizing and selecting different speech synthesis voices, and XML standards, such as speech recognition grammar specification, as well as speech synthesis markup language. By the end of this course, you will have the foundation you need to give your users a more hands-free approach to using your applications. Before beginning the course, you should be familiar with C#, Visual Studio, and WPF. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn speech recognition and synthesis fundamentals with the Using the Speech Recognition and Synthesis. NET APIs course at Pluralsight.
