This is really old. I will release another tutorial updating this eventually. Follow my blog to get an update when that happens. Thanks!<\/strong><\/p>\n

While this sounds advanced (and it can be), it’s not that hard to set up a very basic setup where a custom application runs in the background in C# by using the built in speech recognition libraries in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

I recommend using an external API for speech recognition if you’re serious about building something similar, as Microsoft’s sucks. You can build your own, or attempt to use something like Google’s API.<\/p>\n
