Guest Brody Posted July 10, 2003 Report Share Posted July 10, 2003 One for all developers out there! Speech Server solutions accessible also by Smartphones and Pocket PCs July 10, 2003 speech-enabled applications should be accessible by standard landline and mobile phones for speech-only (telephony) applications and by GUI-based devices like PCs, Smartphones and Pocket PCs for mixed speech/visual (multimodal) applications. The message from Microsoft directed at developers follows. Microsoft Speech Partner Program Microsoft recently unveiled a new partner program designed to provide increased revenue and profit opportunities for new and existing partners interested in developing, deploying, and reselling Microsoft Speech Server solutions.

Microsoft's vision is that speech will become a mainstream, pervasive technology that is accessible by any device, at any time, and from any place. This vision means that speech-enabled applications should be accessible by standard landline and mobile phones for speech-only (telephony) applications and by GUI-based devices like PCs, Smartphones and Pocket PCs for mixed speech/visual (multimodal) applications. This vision will be achieved as Web and voice infrastructures begin to converge into one unified infrastructure that leverages open industry standards such as Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) for the creation of telephony and multimodal applications. With this convergence, speech-enabled and visual-only Web-based applications will become one unified application — developed using standard Web programming tools, based on Web standards, and running on an enterprise’s existing Web infrastructure.
