Microsoft Speech API installation - windows-7

Which version of Speech API is required for Windows 7 and from where i can download it?
I have tried to download, but they said it's part of Windows SDK itself. I have installed it 3 times till now and I didn't see any Speech related info on SDK installation folder. Am i doing something wrong?
Please help me to setup Speech API in my System.

Checkout sapi.h in include directory in your Windows SDK installation directory. Check this page for more info.

Windows Store app is currently not available in Windows Store

I uploaded one app called 'Smartflow' to the Windows Store and it passed all the certification and published in Windows Store. But when I navigate to Windows Store through the link it says Smartflow is currently not available.
I don't have any idea on this. Please suggest me. Thanks
Based on my regional settings, I should be able to see all en-US apps. I can verify that the Smartflow app does appear to me in the Windows Store. I tried the link you provided in a browser, and also tried a quick search from the Windows Store app.
Below is a screenshot of my screen before downloading the app. I was then able to download and launch the app with no issues. FYI, I am running Windows 10 Enterprise Version 1511 (OS Build 10586.29) as of Dec 28, 2015.

How do I uninstall Google Cloud SDK in Windows

I have installed the Google Cloud SDK in Windows 7 as instructed in the Google Cloud SDK document. And its installed in C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK.
But I haven't seen any option to completely uninstall this SDK in windows control panel.
On the latest SDK, Under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Cloud SDK" you should find an uninstaller (uninstaller.exe). Just execute it.
I have also been struggling with this.
As far as I can tell, the Google App Engine SDK Windows installer installs a whole bunch of binaries into C:\Program Files\Google\Cloud SDK, installs Python 2 (2.7.6 as of this post's writing), creates a CLOUDSDK_PYTHON environment variable, and updates your PATH variable to reference the Python and Cloud SDK locations.
The Cloud SDK Core Command Line Tools (gcloud) can assist you with removing most of the binaries. It's been suggested elsewhere that these binaries can just be deleted, but I uninstalled them one-by-one, just to be safe. To do this (taken from L.H's post here), launch the Google Cloud SDK Shell from your Start menu, and run gcloud components list to see all the SDK components. Each can be removed by running gcloud components remove [COMPONENT_ID]. I removed all of the Individual Components before removing the Cloud SDK Core Command Line Tools Package.
Python includes an actual Windows uninstaller with its installation, you you can just remove it as normal via Add/Remove Programs.
Then, you can just Remove the Google Cloud SDK-related Environment Variables and the references in your PATH variable.
To get Cloud SDK Uninstalled manually on WINDOWS(7 for me) :
Delete following two folders from your windows machine:
Cloud SDK Installation folder
* mostly found at standard installation folder- C:\Program Files (x86)\Google *
or custom location if you chose one during installation
Cloud SDK configuration folder in case you configured it after installation
* Default location is user-level AppData\Roaming\gcloud *
C:\Users{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\gcloud
Apart from this, I found entry of (Google) Cloud SDK in CONTROL PANEL-->Uninstall Programs too. Use this option to uninstall as well. It may throw alert if already deleted.
Last but not least:
Check your system environment variable "PATH". Remove any path that points to Cloud SDK locations.
Hope this would help windows user :)

How to Download Windows Media Device Manager 11 SDK?

I want to compile the examples of the Windows Media Device Manager 11 SDK - but I cannot figure out how to download it. The original download link doesn't work - and in the Windows SDK I cannot find the examples!
EDIT2: I want to access devices via MTP on Windows 7 with an custom application.
You could try the following link:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/c/3/ac367925-39e7-4451-a175-a224f94fbdce/wmformat11sdk.exe
It was buried down in the comments on the SDK documentation.
EDIT:
If you're wanting to do MTP on Windows 7, you might want to look at the Windows 7 Portable Device Enabling Kit for MTP:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463543.aspx
The webpage you provided for that SDK states the Windows Media Device Manager 11 SDK is a component of a Microsoft Kit.
I discovered via Google search that there are different kits depending on the Windows version your using.
That same first page of hits revealed Aaron Stebner's WebLog which provides the Microsoft links you need to download this kit for Windows 7:
Microsoft Windows Media Software Development Kit
That 112.5 MB Kit also contains documentation, tools, and sample code to get you started.
Since MTP (Media Transport Protocol) is part of that Kit's framework, I'm hoping there's going to be examples provided once you download and install the MSI package the complete kit, but this should get you going in the right direction.

Unlock Windows Phone 7 emulator

Today I wanted to unlock the WP7 emulator in order to see some more functionalities available like: task manager, accessing isolated storage files and look over default applications like Office, Messaging and others, but I could not make it work ...
I followed the instructions from here but I'm not having the [YourHardDrive]:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/WindowsPhone/v7.0/Emulation/Images folder . In [YourHardDrive]:/Program Files/Microsoft SDKs/WindowsPhone/v7.0/Emulation folder I have only the following files:
WM7_Skin.xml
WM7_Skin_Down.png
WM7_Skin_Mask.png
WM7_Skin_Up.png
I looked over others tutorials related to unlock emulator and all of them are pointing to an Image folder - which in my case doesn't exists
Did anyone also faced with this problem?
I am curious: Why Microsoft doesn't provide by default access to an 'unlocked' emulator ?
Thanks.
The instructions you linked to are from a very early pre-beta release of the Windows Phone SDK, over six month before the phone released! So you don't have to wonder why they aren't working anymore.
You may search the XDA forums for an unlocked version of the 7.0 emulator image, but that version isn't up-to-date either. Currently RTM is version 7.1 of the SDK for the so-called "Mango" release of Windows Phone 7.5 - but it's currently not possible to "unlock" the restrictions Microsoft put into that emulator image, either. There are some possibilities to launch some of the internal applications / dialogs with a tool from the 7.1 SDK and their corresponding GUIDs. You may take a look at this and this article for some instructions.
The forums at xda-developers often post unlocked emulators. The one that I recently pulled down is here. It is in Italian but just go into the settings and change it to the language you would like.
