Due to my older thread having an inaccurate title focused on the announcement of this application, I've decided to create a new one here focusing on updates and a place for users to get in contact with me if there are any bugs that need to be worked out or features that need to be requested. This is also where to go for the latest feature announcements and a step-by-step development until Cortana kills me off!
SPEECH
Windows Phone Voice Assistant that integrates into TellMe
Speech is an advanced voice assistant designed to make WP8's builtin TellMe function more useful. Currently, TellMe just searches bing and makes phone calls, and not much more. With Speech installed, TellMe is given many new commands including:
History/Past Updates
The app was created in early 2013, but it launched as a beta that to be honest, did not work. Just in time for Cortana's announcement, i've finally finished the app (Lol). In mid-2013, I launched S2, or Speech 2. It fixed all of the beta bugs and gave Speech a nice new UI that worked slightly better. In all of the incremental versions since 1.1, i've focused on new commands, UI improvements, and bug fixes.
1.4.0
1.4.0 introduces a range of new features that make speech more useful and easier to use. While this may seem like it is launching too close to cortana, my market will become average users who don't use the dev preview program and are waiting for the update. Basically, i'll run off of those funds to build my next idea.
WHAT 1.4 INCLUDES:
- First run tutorial
- The long requested feature to call the assistant whatever you like! (Yes, you can trick people and call it Cortana)
- Updated main page.
- Weather data
- Reminders for specific day
- See notification status from main screen
- All new UI for running commands.
- No more crashes
- Back buttons removed, integrated into hardware back button.
- ApplicationBars implemented
- About this song fixed
- General updates to music playing/pausing/listening (Ex: Built a now playing UI instead of crashing app)
- Settings menu
- Commands file can be remotely updated from internet (Faster quick fixes)
- Fixed icon on start screen
- More bug fixes
- Other minor improvements
In all, this is the biggest speech update ever. We plan to release whenever Microsoft approves it to the store.
