Recognize and synthesize speech in Windows applications using System.Speech and Microsoft.Speech speech recognition and synthesis engines. A SpeechKit application can control application functions by speaking rather than having to use a mouse or keyboard; prompt users for applicable data capture; capture data by speaking rather than typing; confirm data capture with spoken or audio acknowledgement; transcribe audio files to text; and synthesize speech to files. Use SpeechKit in the Chant Developer Workbench to interactively enumerate speech engines for testing recognizer- and synthesizer-specific features, trace recognition and synthesis events, test speech grammars, and hear TTS markup playback.
