A POC project for a smart home system, features would be added incrementally and would love to get feedbacks and suggestions

• Add a POC for a feature to recognize speech and convert it into string
• Research the namespaces System.Speech.Recognition and Microsoft.Speech.Recognition and find the differences between them.
• Design and implement a basic mechanism to turn that string into actions
  i.e. add a new device to the home.

• Add image recognition features to open the pet door when recognizing our pets.
• Check the option of using the image recognition feature to unlock doors for family members and friends.

• Add recognition and synthesis for the following languages:
  • Hebrew

• A TTS synthesis MSDN article from June 2019
• A Speech recognition MSDN article from December 2014
• Voice Browser Working Group
• Bing Translator

• Synthesizing TTS: read about concatenation unit selection TTS
• If prosody is required, read and implement SSML
• Research about using the Microsoft neural network TTS considering the following:
  • Its price-plan
  • The ability to anonymise the outgoing data (privacy)
• Create a Custom Voice by using Microsoft's Cognitive Services
• Speech Software Development Kit
