Can Cortana speak the work instructions that you have created?

Sure it can. 🙂

On the current implementation of Hololens you can let cortana speak e.g. your work instructions:

You can call a function from your application parameters (e.g. the parameter where you start the sequence with) in this example by:

read();

and in the home.js apply:

$scope.app.read = function() {

$scope.app.speech.say($scope.app.view.wdg['3DLabel-1'].text);

}

of course you can do more advanced things with it ...e.g. if you dont want to say the stepnames (1/8; 2/8; etc) and filter the text that is spoken:

$scope.app.read = function() {

var labelText = $scope.view.wdg['3DLabel-1'].text;

var spokenText = labelText.substr(labelText.indexOf(" ") + 1); // converts "1/8 Whatever text" to "Whatever text"

$scope.app.speech.say(spokenText);

}

Have fun
