Does it support real-time transcription?

Yes, the provided service implementation includes a PartialResultReceived event that allows the UI to update with transcriptions while the user is still speaking.

What external libraries are required?

The skill relies on the CommunityToolkit.Maui NuGet package to provide a consistent API for native speech recognition services.

Which UI frameworks are supported?

It is designed to work with all major .NET MAUI UI approaches, including standard XAML with MVVM, C# Markup, and MauiReactor.

Does this skill handle platform-specific permissions?

Yes, it includes the specific XML configurations for iOS Info.plist and AndroidManifest.xml, as well as C# logic to request and verify permissions at runtime.

Can I use this for Text-to-Speech (TTS) output?

No, this skill is focused exclusively on Speech-to-Text (input). For audio output, you would use separate text-to-speech features or the maui-media-picker skill.
