7 years ago I started looking into this immediately after landing on crclayton's stackoverflow post reference to this repo. I've not created a sample yet, but the answer seems to be in creating a background app service.
Where I've been digging so far:
- Cortana voice command sample Handling registration of a background task and hooking it up to a voice command. (Package.appxmanifest, AdventureWorksCommands.xml)"
- Activate a background app with voice commands through Cortana
However, I'm no C# dev so I'm still lost. :D
Can this be made to work without the giant orange window being brought up? Or as an alternative, autoclose the app when the command is done?
With having a window brought up I'm kinda torn whether to use this...perhaps if I created a bing interceptor I could at least close Edge automatically.
That said, great concept, looking forward to what the future holds. Still not the same as some official Cortana integration, I'll never get Cortana for iOS to start my media computer but this is the start, and I can always program Siri. Perhaps the next step is to allow for commands to be created in program in a user interface, let end users add commands in-app. This can be done, it's been mentioned here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27670696/how-to-modify-cortana-voice-activation-commands-xml-in-c
Just some things to keep in mind. I think the best AA(Artificial Assistant) will be one that has both Big Corporate support and custom commands...one that can order a pizza and tell my robot to dance :P Its only so far been one or the other.
