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

Thanks

Kevin Marshall created an example that did just this using the beta version of the tools.

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

  • Yes, it seems that link is no longer valid. For how to do speech-to-text on WP8 see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj206958(v=vs.105).aspx – Matt Lacey Apr 29 '13 at 13:06

No offline API available currently - and it looks like the future direction for this is online - see project Hawaii - http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/projects/hawaii/students/default.aspx (a version of this should be release in Feb 2011)

Who'd have thought that 18 months later, Project Hawaii is still "intended for academic use only" -- i.e. not ready for primetime yet, in my book. Here's a new "online" alternative: AT&T's Speech to Text API.

News article - http://www.research.att.com/articles/featured_stories/2012_07/201207_WATSON_API_announce.html?fbid=sM4gRrHiK7I

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

Only downside is it costs $99/year to utilize AT&T APIs. Not a great solution if you give away your apps and don't make much ad revenue.
