Речь может быть эффективным, естественным и приятным способом взаимодействия с приложениями Windows, дополнения или даже замены традиционных интерфейсов взаимодействия на основе мыши, клавиатуры, сенсорного ввода, контроллера или жестов. Speech can be an effective, natural, and enjoyable way for people to interact with your Windows applications, complementing, or even replacing, traditional interaction experiences based on mouse, keyboard, touch, controller, or gestures.

Функции на основе речи, такие как распознавание речи, Диктовка, синтез речи (также известные как преобразование текста в речь или TTS), и диалоговые речевые помощники (например, Кортана или Алекса) могут предоставлять доступ к доступным и инклюзивным пользователям, что позволяет пользователям использовать ваши приложения, когда другие устройства ввода могут оказаться недостаточными. Speech-based features such as speech recognition, dictation, speech synthesis (also known as text-to-speech or TTS), and conversational voice assistants (such as Cortana or Alexa) can provide accessible and inclusive user experiences that enable people to use your applications when other input devices might not suffice.

На этой странице содержатся сведения о том, как различные платформы разработки Windows обеспечивают распознавание речи, синтез речи и поддержку сообщений для разработчиков, создающих приложения Windows. This page provides information on how the various Windows development frameworks provide speech recognition, speech synthesis, and conversation support for developers building Windows applications.
