Artefact 4: Research

One of the resources i have found is at (www.speechapi.com).

They use a combination of;

• Speech API server
• Use an array of coding languages for Speechapi; # Javascript

# Java
# PHP
# Python
# Ruby
# HTTP API
# Command Line Inteface (using Java Libraries)

• Use HTTP Protocols
• Provide Flash, Javascript and applet api's for browser side recognition

The javascript API has three modes. Basic, Advanced and Automatic. Basic mode is the best way to get started. It provides a simple set of methods and callbacks that you can use in your web pages. Advanced mode integrates nicely with modern javascript tool kits like jquery. In advanced mode you design the grammar segments that will create events, and you write the javascript callbacks that will process those events. Automatic mode allows you to add basic speech processing to your web page with minimal amount of code. You indicate which html tags you want to speech enabled and add some grammar hints to those tags.

The speechapi can be monitored using a 'developer ID' which will record all commands that run through the website.
