.NET: Speech Recognition and Synthesys

Voice Recognition - Speech Recognition with .NET Desktop Applications:
"... how to get started with speech recognition and speech synthesis in Windows console applications, Windows Forms applications, and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) applications.

...you can also add speech capabilities to Windows Phone apps, ASP.NET Web apps, Windows Store apps, Windows RT apps and Xbox Kinect, but the techniques to do so are different from those presented in this article."

Microsoft Speech Platform (downloads)


A nice article with step-by-step guide for making Windows voice apps.
The setup is a non-trivial.
It is interesting to compare this with cloud-based (Google Now) or mobile (Siri, Cortana) agents,
that just show in web browser or in a smartphone app, and "just work" (or entertain :)
