Speech-Enabled ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit Application (CommerceVoice)
Brief Description
The Speech-Enabled ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit application (CommerceVoice) is a voice-only version of the “IBuySpy” Commerce Sample in the ASP.NET Starter Kit, a fictional commerce Website for selling spy-related products. The application is built using Microsoft’s Speech Application SDK 1.0.
*Download size depends on selected download components.
Overview
CommerceVoice shows the developer how to create a voice-only service from an existing Web application. CommerceVoice leverages the existing business- and data-layers of the IBuySpy sample it is based on, demonstrating programming and design techniques for using the Microsoft Speech Application SDK, and for developing voice-only applications in general. This application is not intended for commercial deployment.
The following files are available for download:
Sample code (fast connection) If you’d like to download all of the sample code and have a fast connection, download the Speech-Enabled ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit.MSI 138MB. Once the download is complete, double-click on the file to launch the installer.
Sample code (slow connection) If you’d like to download all of the sample code and have a slow connection, download all 15 CAB files starting with Speech-enabled ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit 1.CAB. After downloading all of the files, double-click on the first file, Commerce 1, to extract the MSI file. Select a location to extract the file to, and press OK. When the file, Speech-Enabled ASP.NET Commerce Starter Kit.MSI, is fully extracted, double-click on that file to begin installation.
A microphone or some other sound input device to receive the sound is required for speech recognition (SR). In general, the microphone should be a high quality device with built-in noise filters. The speech recognition rate is directly related to the quality of the input. The recognition rate will be significantly lower or perhaps even unacceptable with a poor microphone.
