Chant SpeechKit by Chant

Develop software that speaks and listens. SpeechKit components allow you to rapidly integrate speech technology and deploy speech-aware applications and Web sites using your favorite RAD development environment. Chant SpeechKit is comprised of components for speech recognition (i.e., speech-to-text) and speech synthesis (i.e., text-to-speech). SpeechKit allows users to verbally fill out forms, query databases, navigate applications and more, while also performing text-to-speech so the application can communicate with the user without requiring them to read what is on the screen.Chant SpeechKit can be also bought as part of the Chant Developer Workbench that includes full major and minor version upgrades for one year.

Chant SpeechKit includes components for managing speech recognition and synthesis. Whether you develop desktop, server, mobile, telephony, Internet software, or web pages, SpeechKit components can transform text to speech for audio playback and speech to text for your software to process. This liberates your software from keypads, keyboards, etc.. as primary input devices by letting end users talk with it.

With Chant SpeechKit component software, you can:

Voice-enable any type of Win32 application with SpeechKit components in ActiveX, C-DLL, COM, Java, .NET Framework (v1.1, v2, V3), VCL, Web, and Xtra formats.
