Abstract
By using the Project Hawaii Speech-to-Text (STT) service, a mobile application can translate audio speech to text. An application can deliver up to 10 seconds of audio speech to the service for translation in a single call. The service supports the use of multiple grammars. This document provides a brief introduction to the managed interface to the STT service and walks you through a simple application that uses it.
Introduction
By using the Project Hawaii Speech-to-Text (STT) service, a mobile application can translate audio speech to text. An application can deliver up to 10 seconds of audio speech to the service for translation in a single call. The service supports the use of multiple grammars.
This document provides a brief introduction to the managed interface to the STT service and walks you through a simple application that uses it.
Prerequisites
Before you can build an application that uses the STT service, you must:
• Install the Project Hawaii SDK.
• Build the Project Hawaii SDK.
• Obtain Project Hawaii authentication credentials.
For information about installation, build procedures, and credentials, see “Hawaii Installation Guide,” which is installed with the SDK and is available on the web, as listed in “Resources” at the end of this document.
In addition, you should be familiar with the following:
• Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)
• Microsoft Silverlight®
• Windows Phone 7 SDK
The Speech Recognition Client Library
The simplest way to communicate with the Hawaii STT service is to use the Speech Recognition Client Library.This library implements an interface that enables a mobile application to communicate with the Hawaii Rendezvous service.
