We, DSH electronics, are not affiliated with Spotify, but we do offer a very useful add-on that allows full control of Spotify by means of interactive speech! It is called "SPOTIFY SPEAK!" This software makes Spotify listen to your voice instructions and spoken search queries, and also talks back to you! It uses Windows speech recognition and text-to-speech that are standard features of Windows Vista and Windows-7 (in English, German, French, Spanish and some other languages).

HELP
 

   

SPOTIFY SPEAK! is very easy to use

Just connect a microphone to your computer, train the Windows speech recognition engine such that it understands you well, start-up Spotify Speak! and just talk to Spotify!

Search commands
Simply say the name of the Artist or music Title (or both) and wait for Spotify to complete the search. For example say "Frank Sinatra My Way".
If Spotify can find one or more valid search results then it will immediately start to play, otherwise it will tell you that the search has failed.

Control commands
You can also control Spotify by voice by giving short commands:

  • Next music title, say: "Next", "Next Song", "Next Title"  etc. (whatever you say after "Next" is irrelevant).
  • Previous music title, say: "Back", "Previous Song", "Previous Title"  etc. (ditto for "previous").
  • Stop playing, say: "Stop", "Stop playing".
  • Play, say: "Play" or "Continue".
  • Pause, say: "Pause".
  • Volume Up, say: "Volume Up", "Louder" or "Increase Volume".
  • Volume Down, say: "Volume Down", "Softer", "Decrease Volume" or "Reduce Volume".
  • Settings, say: "Settings" or "Preferences".
  • Close Spotify Speak, say: "Close" or "Close program".

Settings
You can customize the way Spotify Speak! operates. Just click on the "V" button to expand the control.
Three selectors, a volume control and five buttons will become visible.

With the selectors you can control whether Spotify Speak! says the names of Artists, Titles or not at all.

The functions of the five buttons are as follows:

  • TEST: Will make the software speak a test sentence. It will also assist you in setting the volume of the speaking voice (called "Anna").
  • HELP: Opens this online Help document.
  • BUY:  Directly goes to "Kagi" for online credit card purchases of Spotify Speak!.
  • INFO: Opens a message box with information about Spotify Speak!
