I am creating a windows 8.1 app using text to speech api. So now my question is that how to change the age or gender of the voice and if a certain voice is not installed on the client machine how can I supply that voice with my app?
Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis namespace
Speech synthesis MSDN sample for Windows 8.1
Currently there's no variety of age is available for voice, but you can change gender of voice by setting VoiceGender enum.
You don't need to bundle the voice with the app. The OS contains all the framework libraries.

I have the RX100-M3 camera, and it seems that some applications can be developed for it.
As far as I understand, the CameraRemoteAPI SDK can be used to develop Android or iOS applications. So is there a way to develop applications for the Sony camera?
I would like to develop a feature to be able to:
set the timer (from 2s to 2min)
select the number of shots (from 1 to 2000)
select the time between shots.
There is an existing "intervalometer" application but it is very expensive.
Camera Remote API SDK allows one to remotely control the supported Sony cameras including RX100M3 from any other device, by sending HTTP commands to the camera. The application you create can run from any
platform Android, iOS , Windows, PC, etc. You will have to connect this device to the camera over WiFi.
To get more information, please download the SDK, which contains sample applications and API documentation.

I am new to windows phone OS development and I want to implement a background data transfer on windows phone 8.1 and I want to do it even after app is running in background. On windows 8 there is an Windows.Networking.BackgroundTransfer API but what about windows phone OS. Thanks.
Windows.Networking.BackgroundTransfer is in fact supported on windows phone 8.1, here is the sample code : http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Background-Transfer-Sample-d7833f61
But if you want to maintain windows phone 8 support you can use BackgroundTransferService instead. Sample code for it can be found here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh202959(v=vs.105).aspx
I want to develop a softphone application for Mobile Phone platform (Mobile phones using Windows Mobile 7.1 or Higher) that is independent from the PBX, so that it can works with Asterisk, Askozia , 3CX, and any other kind of VoIP PBX, without the need to put other software inside and/or PBX. I know that this kind of applications exists, since I used it on other platforms, like 3CX client or BRIA client, both for iOS. I have all Microsoft tools and sdk needed to build that kind of applications, correctly configured and working. I already built other apps for Mobile Phone platform.
I had found a free trial version of Ozeki VoIP SIP SDK and I downloaded the latest version of the library from http://voip-sip-sdk.com/p_21-download-ozeki-voip-sip-sdk-voip.html and installed it. While I was easily able to build the sample softphone projects, I didn't understand how to build a softphone for mobile phones. Since I saw that softphone related class are in VoIPSDK.dll, I also tried to add reference to VoIPSDK.dll in Windows Phone Project, but Visual Studio gives an error complaining about "unsupported library".
So, what I need to now, since this is our main purpose, is it possible with this library to build a softphone for mobile platforms? In case, may I have a sample or the instruction on how to use Ozeki SDK library on these platforms? Maybe, I should create another application (the mediagateway) that should sit between the pbx and the mobile phone app. Have you got any experience with this library and mobile applications?
We are developing a lightswitch app that will have a silverlight plug in controller that will allow for handwriting recognition and translation. we want to use this exclusively on a win8 tablet. we know that it has to be used on the desktop side of the tablet. We also know that the win8rt side has access to different tools that allow of handwriting recognition. (InkManager class) - is there any way to get access to these necessary classes from the desktop side of the win8 tablet.

I was trying to access some of the sensors that are built into this
Intel Ultrabook that runs Windows 8. However, while there's support
for Location Sensors built into the .NET 4 libraries on Windows 7 and
up, I want to access the complete Sensor and Location Platform that is
built into Windows 8 itself. Those APIs are available via COM and I
could call them via COM, but calling them via the WinRT layer is so
much nicer. Plus, this is kind of why WinRT exists.
There's also an example using VB.NET on TheCodeProject
I am developing an application with Flash Lite designed to run on Nokia S60 5th edition phones using the Flash Lite API Bridge Interface. The application uses the API Bridge to access the phones camera and upload functionality to take a photo, display it to the user then upload it to a server. I am using Flash CS4 Professional and Device Central to develop and test the interface.
Are there any emulators that will run my flash lite app and simulate the camera? What are my options short of getting a phone and installing my app every time I want to test something new?
