Hi I'm trying to develop an application that will talk to the user via text to speech. I have used the tutorials available on Xamarin website and the plugin created by James Montemagno and I can output English text to speech but whenever I ask the app to say Arabic words it goes silent.
Is Arabic TTS supported on Xamarin in either Forms, Android, or iOS?
Thanks
After too many searches I found that android devices not supporting Arabic TTS and you have to use paid third party to do that.

I need to implement the audio to text converter in the Xamarin Uwp platform specific. I am able to record the audio and save that audio. But now I need to convert that audio file in to text file. If anyone can suggest me any working good example than it would be really good for me.
There is a Speech-To-Text API in UWP, but it's moslty for commanding, e.g. executing actions based on what the user is saying. At least that's what I've seen it used for. You can read about that here.
What you probably want is something like the speech recognition that Microsoft Cognitive Services offers. You can upload an audio file of up to 15 minutes and retrieve a transcript of the file. You can read about that here.
Last week during the Google I/O '17, Google annonced that Google Assistant will soon be available in other countries (like France, Germany, Japan...)
I'm a french developer and I want to develop a new Action for Google Assistant.
Currently it's only possible to do it in English but does somebody know if an internationalization system will be available or if I will have to develop a copy of my current English agent and translate it on french when Google Assistant will be available for french people ?
If an internationalization system is created, will it be available only on API.ai, only on Actions SDK or on both ?
Thanks in advance :)
EDIT: Google Assistant is currently deploy to French user (29/05/2017), an internationalization system is now really needed.
[Update after 10/04 Google conference]
Api.ai now supports multi-language agents:
https://api.ai/docs/multi-language
And Actions on Google also supports multi language: in the App Information screen, you can use the arrow near "English" and click on "Add language".
More supported languages are coming soon...
I am working on a windows store app, and intend to add tts to it. can anyone tell me whether speech recognition API available in windows store app?
Bing speech recognition control has been released recently. Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn434583.aspx
I'm finding it impossible to create any form of text to speech program. I've scoured the internet and can only find two examples, neither of which work. I've already got and used my Bing app ID so it's not a missing ID causing the problem.
Does anybody know where there is a working example or could provide some sample (functioning!) code.
Thanks.

This picture have a textbox within a microphone icon just like the search page in phone.
My qusetion is can I use this feature in my application?How?
thanks.
There are no on-device or framework assemblies that you can use to perform speech recognition directly in your applications. However, Kevin Marshall has a blog post that shows how to implement speech recognition by using Web services that use System.Speech and the microphone.
