Speech Programming

I recently received the following question that Kevin submitted to this blog:

I'm interested in speech programming in c# and was wondering if you have some sample code for recognition in particular as i hope to develop a speech enabled ordering system where users could listen via tts and select items via recognition.

For some reason Kevin's email address didn't work when I tried to reply, so Kevin if you're still reading, please check out the following blogs for starters:

and the older one:

which points to a great MSDN aticle

As always, for desktop-related issues check Rob Chamber's blog and feel free to ping him -- he's very responsive.

Oh and one other secret email address: sapi5@microsoft.com  Anything sent here will go directly to the speech developers at Microsoft, who are usually eager to help.
