I have developed a voice enabled application in windows 8.

Question

I have developed a voice enabled application in windows 8. How to convert into a plugin where other application of windows 8 can be made voice enabled through the application I developed??

Is there any chances to develop a voice enabled SDK like application ? The purpose of it is : It should enable other applications to voice when this SDK is used in it. This app can be used in either windows phone or tablet.

Interesting question. Usually the way it works is you build an API and give it to other app developers so they can integrate in their apps. Examples are Microsoft Speech Engine Dragon and few other APIs. I am not sure what do you mean by a plugin. There is no concept of plugin in Windows 8. You can create a control and people can use in their apps but it will do only what it can do. I don't think other developers can use to voice enable their apps. For example if you create a voice-enabled TreeView control and some app developer uses that TreeView control in their apps only your TreeView control will be able to understand voice and speech commands.
