SpeechKit 6 (ID #27133)

Chant Inc.

Chant SpeechKit includes essential components for managing speech recognition and synthesis. Whether you develop desktop, server, mobile, telephony, Internet software, or web pages, SpeechKit components can transform text to speech for audio playback and speech to text for your software to process. This liberates your software from keypads, keyboards, and mice as primary input devices by letting end users talk with it.

Manage Speech Recognition and Synthesis with Application Ready Components
- Voice-enable any type of Win32 application with SpeechKit components in ActiveX, C-DLL, COM, Java, .NET Framework (v1.1 and v2), VCL, Web, and Xtra formats.
- Voice-enable any type of WinCE application with SpeechKit components in C-DLL and .NET Framework (CF2) formats.
- Develop and deploy your applications independent of specific recognizers and synthesizers:
- SpeechKit Win32 Developer Edition supports Dragon NaturallySpeaking, IBM ViaVoice, Microsoft SAPI 3, SAPI 4, SAPI 5 compliant recognizers, Nuance VoCon 3200 recognizer, Cepstral synthesizers, Microsoft SAPI 3, SAPI 4, SAPI 5 compliant synthesizers, or NuanceNuance RealSpeak Solo synthesizers; and
- SpeechKit WinCE Developer Edition supports Microsoft SAPI 5 compliant recognizer (e.g., Microsoft Voice Command) and Nuance VoCon 3200 recognizer, Cepstral synthesizers, Microsoft SAPI 5 compliant synthesizer, and Nuance RealSpeak Solo synthesizers.
- Select and adjust recognizer, synthesizer, and audio options and property settings dynamically.
- Leverage a common persistence framework across programming languages and component formats.
- Support Unicode and ANSI systems with single component library.

Develop Applications that Speak
- Synthesize speech from anywhere within your application.
- Automatically synthesize message box text.
- Easily enumerate and select a voice.
- Easily adjust the spoken output speed, volume, and pitch.
- Take advantage of built-in audio management and synthesize to the audio format needed by your application.
- Synthesize text from strings, buffers, streams, and files.
- Playback audio or write to buffers, streams, and files.
- Access detailed synthesis result attributes and properties.
- Persist property settings across executions.
- Process requests synchronously or asynchronously with built-in queue manager.

Develop Applications that Listen
- Capture spoken input as if it was typed using a keyboard.
- Select menus, list items, click buttons, and click hypertext links by speaking instead of using a mouse.
- Simulate keyboard input and mouse clicks.
- Recognize spoken languages supported by recognizers.
- Leverage common dictation text formatting across speech APIs.
- Access detailed recognition result attributes and properties.
- Correct recognition results.
- Playback recorded audio associated with recognition results.
- Manage context-based and context-free recognition by dynamically adding, removing, enabling, and disabling, command, grammar, and dictation vocabularies.
- Take advantage of built-in audio management and recognize from the audio format needed by your application.
- Recognize from buffers, files, microphone (live), and stream audio sources.
- Write audio to buffers, streams, and files.
- Persist property settings across executions.
- Process requests synchronously or asynchronously with built-in queue manager.
- Use built-in What Can I Say dialog to display what commands your application responds to and Where Can I Go dialog to display hypertext links that can be invoked by speaking the link text.
