# SAPIServer

Simple HTTP frontend API for Microsoft Speech API

## Building

Requirements
- .NET SDK
- VS2022 lib pack (TODO: link)
- mingw-w64 toolchain built with `win32` thread model (`pthread` won't work)

You'll also need to chattr +F (or mount the whole thing with `ciopfs` and rename the headers to lowercase, if not on ext4 or you don't want to tune2fs) the windows sdk header directories so the build works.

`just` should do the trick.

## Running

```
Usage: SAPIServer.exe <port>
```
