Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
Wondering if anyone can give me the lowdown on Microsoft's Speech capability on the Web. I want to build a Website that can recognize spoken words. <br />
<br />
What should I be using the SpeechLib COM object or System.Speech or is it both.<br />
<br />
What is the difference between those two? I get the feeling that the SpeechLib object is the old way. I can build a working Text to Speech in WPF Windows Form but not using ASP.Net. And I can't find any examples for ASP.Net that only use System.Speech.<br />
<br />
Anyway I am just looking for some general knowledge on the status on VS 2008 and Website development using SAPI<br />
<br />
Thanks

Speech Recognition and ASP.Net

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Voice or speech recognition includes methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized devices. It is also known as "automatic speech recognition" (ASR), "computer speech recognition", or just "speech to text" (STT). Voice recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialling (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"), appliance control, search, simple data entry, preparation of structured documents, speech-to-text processing, and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).
