voice assistant features on Windows only enabled for UWP applications

Question

Hi MSFT team,

I want to query, whether "WinUI3 app" can access voice assistant features. As I know UWP will be deprecated, and instead, MSFT is perfer WinAppSDK Apps (Likes: WinUI3 App).

"https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/windows-voice-assistants-faq"

"Why are voice assistant features on Windows only enabled for UWP applications?

Given the privacy risks associated with features like voice activation, the features of the UWP platform are necessary allow the voice assistant features on Windows to be sufficiently secure."

Answer 1

Hello @Damon Pan ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

whether "WinUI3 app" can access voice assistant features

I checked the PackageReference and Capabilities of UWPVoiceAssistantSample, and I also used Azure Speech SDK in WinUI3 project, it works in WinUI3 project.

In fact, the sample of Cognitive-Services-Voice-Assistant also supports WPF, C# .net core and C++.

Thank you

Junjie
