Surf’s Up: Catch the Maui Wave

Develop cross platform Maui apps that speak and listen with Chant SpeechKit

Whoooaaa! Dude! Like the cross platform classes for Delphi apps, Chant SpeechKit now includes Maui classes for C# apps to target Android, iOS, and Windows. The new Chant.SpeechKit.Maui package is available on Nuget and can easily be added to Maui projects. Android and iOS binding and platform libraries are automatically included.

The ChantRecognizer and ChantSynthesizer classes provide a common way to recognize and synthesize speech across target platforms using default speech technology. Apps can downcast SpeechKit objects to access target platform specific properties if needed. The new SpeechKit Maui Command and Synthesis samples illustrate. Visual Studio Maui app projects for recognizing and synthesizing speech are included in the latest samples installer.
