Create a project
In VDK Studio there is two types of project:
Custom project.
When you want to use custom technology bricks and not not only have a basic input/output assitant.
This type is aimed for more complex projects. In this case, you will need to implement the code by yourself into the widgets.No code assistant.
When you want to create a quick proof of concept of voice recognition and voice synthesis without having to code.
When you launch the VDK Studio, you will have to choose whether you want to start a new project, import an existing project or browse into the playground.
