Speech Technologies

Microsoft's vision for speech technology is empowering people with innovative speech-enabled applications on every device, whether a desktop or TabletPC, mobile phone or PDA, or via a standard telephone.


Powerful speech-based interfaces, available in your language, will enhance the user experience and let people access information more naturally and effectively wherever they are. Microsoft’s speech technology already powers great ready-to-use applications like Outlook Voice Access in Microsoft Exchange 2007 Unified Messaging, Windows Speech Recognition on Windows Vista, Speech Server on Office Communications Server 2007, and Voice Command on Windows Mobile. In addition, developers can leverage powerful APIs and tools to build their own speech-enabled applications using the Speech Server Developer tools for Visual Studio 2005 and the System.Speech API in .NET 3.0.
