MS releases Speech API 5.1 for Developers
MS Press | at | by Mike
SAPI 5.1 includes improved speech recognition and text-to-speech engines that developers can include with their applications at no additional charge, and eliminates the need for developers to also use the Windows Platform SDK (Software Development Kit) when they're compiling speech-enabled applications. Engine vendors and developers say that these additions make it faster, easier and less expensive for developers to speech-enable their applications with better results than they could have achieved before.
