hi, I have to integrate Automatic Speech Recognition features to a VXML Applicaiton. OpenVXI provides VXMLinterpreter.What I understood by some amont of reading is that it provides ASR support via VXIrec. I have to implement few interfaces of VXIrec. I have Microsoft speech server, which supports ASR. Now to integrate this to VXIrec, I find no documentation explaining HOWTO integrate ASR to VXIrec,where to start. Some mail in mailing-list talked about useful documentation for freshers to OpenVXI but no link is given. I would be glad to know if one exists. thanks and regards, Raghuram.N.C -----Original Message----- From: www-voice-request@w3.org on behalf of Doug Schepers Sent: Wed 4/7/2004 4:48 PM To: www-voice@w3.org Cc: Subject: Re: OT: TTS Engine Hi, everyone- Wow. I did not expect so many replies, so quickly. What a friendly community! Many thanks to all of you. Most of the private replies I have gotten have pointed me to Festival. I'd looked at Festival, and I'm pleased with the resulting sound synthesis, but I cannot seem to find any browser plugin. There are a few references to it, but none that lead to active links. Does anyone have any information about this? If neccessary, I might be able to build one myself from the Festival code, but I'd rather not. Not to sound ungrateful, but the solution I hoped to find was a browser plug-in, preferrably C/C++ based (so that it has as few requirements as possible, which is a bit of a limitation of Java, these days; the excellent samples I tried were a bit more of a download than I think most users can bear, and were not as seamless as I think they'd need to be for purposes of accessibility). Just to supply as much information as possible, I'm trying to create a talking calculator (as a simple prototype) to be viewed in a browser. A very early version is here: http://www.schepers.cc/testbed/accessibility/SelfDescribingSVG.html This example uses the Microsoft TTS engine, which is fine, but not cross-platform. I guess I'd thought that there would be more XML TTS engines by now, as I'm hoping for a generic solution. Ultimately, I want to create a much more complex SVG+TTS accessible application, and I want it to be available for anyone. An alternate solution that occurs to me is to host a TTS engine on my site, and stream the sound, but that hardly seems like the best solution.
