The SASDK enables developers to create, debug, and deploy speech-enabled ASP.NET Web applications intended for deployment to a computer running Microsoft Speech Server. These applications are designed for devices ranging from telephones to Windows Mobile-based devices and desktop PCs.
Application authoring tools are seamlessly integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio® .NET 2003, allowing developers to take advantage of a familiar and powerful development environment. These utilities will enable developers to author programs that recognize spoken commands and, depending on the mode, communicate a visual or a spoken response to the user.
In addition to powerful authoring tools, the SASDK contains a wealth of resources, including a rich voice mode grammar library, debugging tools, reference documentation, log analysis tools, ASP.NET Speech Controls, sample and reference applications, a speech application deployment service, and a Speech Add-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer.
