# WPRelive
A homebrew Windows Phone 7/8 API server made in Python 3.9 with [Starlette](https://www.starlette.io/),
used for *Microsoft Tellme* (speech recognition) and *Bing Search* (search API, not implemented yet).
### Why?
Just for fun and giggles and learning reverse engineering.
Since Bing API server (api.m.bing.net) is dead for a very long while, why just not resurrect the ancient tech?
### What's the goal?
To make Microsoft Tellme (Windows Phone 7/8 speech recognition) work again, even the only thing it can do is
help Tellme/Bing with search query.
### How it works?
Microsoft Tellme uses HTTP server for speech recognition, and Bing Search also uses it for search queries.
### What doesn't work?
- Actual speech recognition (decoding SirenSR, or GSM 6.10 8kHz Mono, and then get text from audio)
- Bing Search API (need to investigate on JSON/NIF responses)
- Perhaps more, such as Today's Image for background
## Installation Guide
Requirements:
- [Python >= 3.9](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
You need to install dependencies (preferably inside Python virtual enviromnet (venv)),
you can install either from requirements.txt or Pipfile:
- Legacy Pip way: `pip install -Ur requirements.txt`
- Pipenv way: `pipenv install`
Then you can start Uvicorn ASGI host:
```
uvicorn --host 0.0.0.0 --port 80 wprelive.app:app
```
You also need DNS server that will redirect `api.m.bing.net` hostname to your host address.
If you are about to host locally on Windows and have Wi-Fi hotspot, you can use your PC as DNS server.
You need to append text in `%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts` file:
```
api.m.bing.net
```
Then turn on Wi-Fi hotspot and connect your Windows Phone to your hotspot network.
