Speech: The first Virtual Assistant with OS Integration

[Kevin N Smith]

This is a follow-up to the concept thread located here and update thread for my app.

Speech

Speech is a Windows Phone 8 app designed to fill the gaps found in TellMe, WP8's default voice recognition application. While not designed to replace TellMe, Speech integrates into Windows Phone as if it was a native application built into the OS.

You can download or buy speech by following this link to the Windows Phone store and selecting try or buy. The app is 0.99 cents (USD). For information about trial limitations, screenshots, update information, or any other relevant content, please continue reading.

Looks nice! I should try it if I was on wp8, but I'm still on 7 :unhappy: I understand that it's impossible for you to make this app for 7 though.

1.2.0 Has been submitted with the following changes:

- Accent Color Support
- Battery Bug Fixes
- New Intro Page

Nice start! The music functions don't seem to be working. I say "phone shuffle music" and it plays a song. I say "phone play next song" and it plays the same song over again. You should get with the Hey DJ! guy and combine apps

First off, thank you for purchasing my app (Assuming because you are reporting a bug with a premium-only command). About the bug, I've already created a fix for it that will be bundled into whatever update comes after 1.2, currently in certification. (About the Hey DJ thing, I can't do that because there is no way for Hey DJ to know if Speech is on trial or paid mode, and people would be able to use the music commands without buying the app)
