I guess a voice card would be for a T1, which supports 24 concurrent calls, which I only need 1-3 calls at the same time.<br />
<br />
I'll look into the software you suggested.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

If you do not need speech rec then I think asterisk, YATE, freeswitch would be good options to look into.<br />

I need to write my own IVR or use an existing API. &nbsp;I find this VoiceShot looks pretty good, but they cost quite a bit per minute.<br />

But I guess the alternative is to host it myself, then I need a voice card and have a capacity bottleneck where I must limit the number of concurrent inbound calls, possibly to 1.<br />
<br />
What kinds of solutions are there to create a .NET IVR solution to get found pieces of simple input?<br />
<br />
What kinds of pricing alternatives are there?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

I need an IVR with .NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

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).

Voice Recognition

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.
