SpeechStudio releases Speech
Tools for Microsoft Visual Basic Developers
Portland, OR, Sept. 7, 2001: SpeechStudio Inc. today began
shipping SpeechStudio Suite for Visual Basic 1.7, the beta release of its
complete software development solution for creating voice-driven user interfaces
on Microsoft Windows. SpeechStudio Suite is a revolutionary new application
that easily enables developers to voice enable new or existing application
programs using industry-standard Microsoft Visual Studio. Included is
SpeechRunner, the industry's only comprehensive testing solution for
voice-enabled desktop and embedded applications.
Early access customer Karthik K. Rishi, of Encodex Technologies
Inc., said, “Time to learn and become productive is very minimal. I was
particularly impressed with the ease with which we were able to generate the
grammar file and the output SpeechStudio resource file.”
A free 30-day trial of SpeechStudio Suite is available directly
from SpeechStudio’s web site,
http://www.speechstudio.com/visual_basic.
SpeechStudio Suite 1.7 includes one year of technical support and
five development tools:
-
The SpeechStudio XML Grammar Editor.
-
SpeechRunner, a complete testing solution for voice-enabled
applications.
-
SpeechPlayer, a freely redistributable runtime system for
Microsoft SAPI 5.
-
SpeechCollector, a voice-sample collector and prompt recorder.
-
Lexicon Builder, a vocabulary builder.
"SpeechPlayer is application intelligent, using information
embedded by SpeechStudio in the target application to display context-sensitive
prompts and focus the voice recognition engine on a precise vocabulary for
maximum accuracy," said Dr. Stephen F. Zeigler, CEO of SpeechStudio Inc. "Tests
created for SpeechRunner are high level and easily intelligible, maximizing
their longevity despite changes to the target application."
Voice-enabled applications can be deployed on any system with
Microsoft SAPI 5, Microsoft's freely redistributable speech-recognition and
text-to-speech software. SAPI 5 ships with Office XP and every copy of Windows
XP.
