SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING VOICE RECOGNITION FOR OPERATING SYSTEM

A system and method is provided that enables voice recognition for legacy operating systems of a computing device. An exemplary method includes receiving speech-based instructions from a user of mobile device that indicate a request for executing a task. The speech-based instructions are then analyzed by an intelligent personal assistant running on the mobile device to determine an intent of the user. If the intent of the user identifies a specialized client software module installed on the mobile, the software module will generate a command object that includes parameters relating to the execution of the task. The command object is then transmitted by the first computing device to a personal computer with a legacy operating system where the command object causes a software agent installed on the personal computer to execute the task based on the parameters included in the command object.
