Produktbeschreibung
Speech Server can be used to voice-enable many .NET applications. Because of the support for ASP.NET Server controls, virtually existing web based application can be speech enabled with relative ease. Adding in telephony is slightly more complex but those with a basic understanding of telephony will find it fairly straightforward. The truth is that it's almost impossible to get away from Speech and DTFM based applications. The reason is that companies can save tremendous amounts of resources but monetary and human by automating systems with Speech and Telephony. But the catch is that such applications need to be well constructed and need to work well with the users, allowing them to do things they otherwise wouldn't be able to do (like get bank account balances at 3:00 Christmas morning). Poorly designed or implemented systems, like all poorly designed/implemented systems simply add inconvenience to what users are already having to do. As such, understanding what Speech Server and the tools can and can not do is imperative. Understanding how to properly configure and secure such applications is even more critical because without this knowledge, even getting started on the application may be difficult to impossible. This book gives that knowledge to the user, like no other book that is or will be available. The expected length of the book will be approximately 500 pages with extensive examples and code provided (which is necessary in this context since most of the audience will probably have had little experience with the technologies before this book). The main reason I think there's an audience is because Speech is getting increasingly popular and there are no other books on the subject. TOC:Introduction to Microsoft Speech Technologies.- Microsoft Speech Server.- Telephony.- Speech Server without Telephony.- Building an automated receptionist using the Speech SDK.- Adding Telephony support.- Adding a web interface.- Adding support for Windows Mobile® and Windows Smartphone® Devices.- Tying it all together.
