What's Microsoft Speech Server (Beta)?

Whoh, a dutch guy speaking english[H]

I keep thinking they're saying "SpeedServer" I want one of those!

Interestingly though it sounds like all the people in the first 5 minutes all speak different languages...

This is Hot, where i can download the Beta Software easy? 
I haven't watch the last 2 minutes of the video ...

I'm an outsider to Microsofts guts, but it seems like every smart programmer on the MS team has a foreign accent Perhaps channel nine should start each show with, "Who are who, what's your position, and what country do you hail from, mate?"

It would be an interesting stat to the radio of foreign/local employees at MS

The big question is, whill SpeechServer recongnize the English being spoken by these three? lol.

Very cool!!!

Are you also going to support other languages for the TTS and Speech Recognition?  We would need Dutch for our applications.

Nice!  And when MSS 2007 launches GotSpeech.Net will be the online community to talk about it!  Great video guys!

Great stuff. Somewhat naive when Mithun Dhar said "Now you have intellisense" (when it took him to the skeletal callback function in Visual Studio .NET)

Great stuff guys.  Can you develop with just VS and the SDK or do you need to install the server on your laptop?  Also, can you test on VS without deploying to the server (i.e. like a virtual server) with just a mic and headphones?

Nice video!  

I'd like to know what are the languages that are in the pipeline. In the video something has been said about new languages to be added later as well as a methodology to add more languages by third parties.
Could you please let us know what are these new languages and when will they be available.
In our company, management seems to have chosen Nuance and Some O.S VXML browser. The main reason we have not opted for Microsoft S.S is the lack of supported languages. It is crucial for us to support as many european languages as possible (and even more languages like Chinese and Arabic...).

Please, help me make a point for M.S.S!
Support more languages an provide some time-frame, roadmap, ...[A]

Thank you in advance.

Keep it up.

What about the OTHER big question Mithun?
Any plans for other languages. Meaning other than the first 5 languages.
Any plans to have Dutch, Italian, Sweedish, French (France), ...etc.

Keep it up.

Thanks Stacey!

We have the MSS 2007 (beta) Developer edition which allows you to develop on your laptop/workstation. The development is supported on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Std/Ent. You will need Visual Studio 2005 with Windows workflow foundation installed.

Once developed, you can deploy and test your speech application from the same machine(by either calling the server with a Softphone/Actual phone, or use the integrated debugger with just a mic and a headset). We have enabled the use of 2 ports on Dev edition. So in essence, it will behave exactly like the Server with port limitations.

HTH!

Thanks!

Perfect answer I was hoping for.  Thanks!!!

Can you please let me know how can I get a copy of the MSS 2007 or the OCS 2007? I am a professor at the Division of Neurosurgery at UCLA Medical Center and direct the work of a small team of developers and researchers at the Brain Monitering and Modeling Lab. We develop medical IT applications and are interested in getting into speech technology as a front end of our extensive backed integrated systems that give us access to a variety of medical data sources. Here is a pointer to one of our products www.gcq.com We have MSDN subscription.

Thanks for your help.

My Name is Raju.A.K, working as .Net programmer and now i have to work with the new tech. of Speech server 2007. I have searched lots of websites for sample applications. it was great to see your tutorial. its nice and i have gained lot and implemented a sample applications, but still i need to concentrate on more and more on controls,
As I have developed application

but i need to configure with telephone or SIP phone on the client machine can you please send me how to deployee application and test the application from the client machine by configuring with particular call party number. so that i can test the applications.
I would also like to have some sample applications to work on all the controls. Please help me if any links provided by your site or any video tutorials, i feel great thankful to your team.
If any books on speech server 2007, i would like to download or purchase the books

Thanks & Regards

Cool technology - my commends to the team. A lot of companies tried (and have built) similar applications, but the power of the Workflow and integration w/ the VS 2005 is a great differentiating factor.

My question:

Does the MSS 2007 (now in the OCS) provide or plan any third party telephony product connection points for integration purposes? E.g., could companies which have already invested in conventional IVR/self-service applications utilize the power of the MSS 2007 (speech side). I am not talking about VoiceXML, but specifically about the Workflow and SR/TTS features. Questions such as associating 'speech channels' with 'IVR scripts' come to mind.

Again, job well done (hope, that accuracy and performance will be as good as the architecture ) .

Hi there,

My name is Khanh Nguyen. I am currently student  majoring in computer science at Western Washington University. I am working on the senior project which my part is speech recognition, and speech synthesis. i am wondering if i could use the new version of the speech server for my project.

thanks

Can you repost this video. Seems to be deleted.  It was very good. Much better then the new one.

Cool staff. Do you have Russian language?
