Calling by skype using C#

Question

I want to develop an assistant software for blind people like Jarvis. It is a C# form application. I need to connect my C# project with Skype API so as to call to some username by using Skype. When I command by using Call John, it responds by calling to John by Skype.

Can someone show me some snippets of code that'll help towards this?

Answer 1

To start the Skype call, Process.Start("callto:john");. You can concatenate "callto:" with the name of the contact.

Look at MSDN Documentation on Speech Recognition in C# for writing the code that triggers the call event described above. As seen in the example below copied from documentation, you can listen on a a few words-- in your case, "call".

Choices colors = new Choices();
colors.Add(new string[] {"red", "green", "blue"});

GrammarBuilder gb = new GrammarBuilder();
gb.Append(colors);

// Create the Grammar instance.
Grammar g = new Grammar(gb);

UPDATE I'd suggest using Skype4comLib. Here's an example!

Skype skype;
skype = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();
string SkypeID = "john";
Call call = skype.PlaceCall(SkypeID);
