Invoke Cortana on button click in an UWP-Application

I'm looking for a way to invoke Cortana in an UWP-Application by a button_clicked event. If the button is clicked I want Cortana to listen such as I had activated her with the "Hey Cortana" phrase or manually by clicking the microphone button. I don't want the application to always listen, it should only listen after clicking the defined button.

Are there any solutions?

I am really not sure ultimately what you want to use Speech for. But the Framework Element that you are looking for is Speech Recognition

Take a look at Speech Recognition from MSDN

Below is a sample of recognizing speech with a Listening UI.

private async void StartRecognizing_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    speechRecognizer = new Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition.SpeechRecognizer();
    await speechRecognizer.CompileConstraintsAsync();
    Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition.SpeechRecognitionResult speechRecognitionResult = await speechRecognizer.RecognizeWithUIAsync();
    var messageDialog = new Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog(speechRecognitionResult.Text, "Text spoken");
    await messageDialog.ShowAsync();
}

You can use this without using UI as Below

Windows.Media.SpeechRecognition.SpeechRecognitionResult speechRecognitionResult = await speechRecognizer.RecognizeWithUIAsync();`

I would strongly Suggest you watch this video from MVA on how to use Speech Recognition in UWP
