Michael Earls - US ISV Resources and Discussions

 I'm really looking forward to attending this one.  I've been a Speech Server enthusiast ever since the Microsoft Agent ActiveX control came out back in 1997.  We've come a long way since then and this event is a good way to get up to speed on how you might use Speech Server technologies in your application.  You'd be surprised at how easy it is to do and how much it could improve user experience. 

Speech Server Day: Alpharetta, GA
May 3^rd, 2006 8:30AM – 5:00PM

Does your application have something to say? Show me the code!

Using the power of .NET, Microsoft Speech Server and Visual Studio 2003 can give your application its voice. Used in conjunction with the Microsoft Speech Application Software Development Kit (SASDK), this platform enables developers to write and deploy web-enabled speech applications to new and existing .NET applications.

Join Microsoft and Brooktrout for a one day special developer session designed to teach you how to architect, develop and implement speech enabled applications using Visual Studio 2003 and the Speech Server platform. We will show how this combination provides all the components necessary for building and deploying telephony (voice-only) and multimodal (voice/visual) applications. Additionally, we will show how the Speech Server platform builds upon the work of the open industry standard Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) specification to extend existing Web markup languages by adding speech recognition and prompt functionality to your Web applications. Using a practical code oriented approach we will cover how to architect, build and deploy applications that performs speech recognition and speech synthesis that can be accessed by telephone, cell phone, Pocket PC, Tablet PC and other devices.
