Tutorial: Extend to Direct Line Speech

Intro

Purpose

The Virtual Assistant template creates and deploys a bot enabled to work in speech-voice scenarios.

This tutorial covers the steps required to connect the Direct Line Speech channel to your assistant and build a simple application integrated with the Speech SDK to demonstrate Speech interactions working.

Prerequisites

Make sure the Universal Windows Platform development workload is available on your machine. Choose Tools > Get Tools and Features from the Visual Studio menu bar to open the Visual Studio installer. If this workload is already enabled, close the dialog box.

Otherwise, select the box next to .NET cross-platform development, and select Modify at the lower right corner of the dialog box. Installation of the new feature takes a moment.

Time to Complete
