New Speech Server video on Channel 9
http://channel9.msdn.com/Showpost.aspx?postid=208891
Albert, Mithun and Dave talk us through some of the great new capabilities of the next version of Speech Server.
I worked on the initial version of Speech Server (2004), as well as some of the plumbing of the server and API in the upcoming version. It's great to see what the Speech Server team is delivering. They've made excellent use of the last couple of years to build an impressive upgrade.
EDIT: I forgot to link to the beta download instructions: http://www.microsoft.com/speech/preview/default.mspx

As an aside, one of the comments (from jsampsonPC) made me grin:
"I'm an outsider to Microsofts guts, but it seems like every smart programmer on the MS team has a foreign accent 
Perhaps channel nine should start each show with, "Who are who, what's your position, and what country do you hail from, mate?" It would be an interesting stat to the [ratio] of foreign/local employees at MS "
I like the suggestion. The development teams I've been a part of are very cosmopolitan. It's one of the things I find enjoyable and enriching about working here.
