Pronexus VeoDesign, development/testing suite for Microsoft Speech Server, receives application certification from Microsoft.Pronexus Inc., a provider of computer-telephony and speech software solutions, recently announced that VeoDesign, its development and testing suite for Microsoft Speech Server The Microsoft Speech Server is a product from Microsoft designed to allow the authoring and deployment of IVR applications incorporating Speech Recognition, Speech Synthesis and DTMF. 2004, has been certified See certification. for use on Speech Server. The VeoDesign development and testing platform is designed to give developers a head start on their speech recognition projects by incorporating several elements: Four-port Microsoft Speech Server license for development and testing, which enables developers to effectively create and test applications using the telephony cards that work with the Microsoft Speech Server, which means that real-world conditions can be tested more accurately and without time limitation. VBSALT, the first Rapid Application Development (RAD (1) (Rapid Application Development) Developing systems incrementally and delivering working pieces every three to four months, rather than waiting until the entire project is programmed before implementing it. ) tool for Microsoft Speech Server. It is the only speech development tool inside Visual Studio .NET A suite of programming languages and development tools from Microsoft that supports the .NET environment. Upon its introduction in 2001, it included Visual C# and .NET versions of Visual Basic and Visual C++. See .NET. 2003 that blends both a graphical user interface graphical user interface (GUI) Computer display format that allows the user to select commands, call up files, start programs, and do other routine tasks by using a mouse to point to pictorial symbols (icons) or lists of menu choices on the screen as opposed to having to for call flow design and sophisticated programming. This, together with its encapsulated encapsulated Localized Oncology adjective Confined to a specific area, surrounded by a thin layer of fibrous tissue; encapsulation generally refers to a tumor confined to a specific area, surrounded by a capsule. See Islet encapsulation. practices for voice user interface (VUI (Voice User Interface) A voice-controlled application on a computer, PDA or smartphone. A VUI is more sophisticated than an interactive voice response (IVR) system. It implies a wide range of commands rather than just voicing "yes" or "no." Contrast with GUI. ) design, accelerates the creation of speech-enabled IVRs and other voice automation solutions powered by Microsoft Speech Server 2004. Sample applications and source code. To further accelerate Speech Server application development, VeoDesign provides an array of sample applications upon which developers can base their own solution: instead of developing an application from the ground up, developers can simply modify the existing VeoDesign samples. Step-by-step tutorials help developers get started with VBSALT. "We are pleased to certify cer·ti·fy v. cer·ti·fied, cer·ti·fy·ing, cer·ti·fies v.tr. 1. a. To confirm formally as true, accurate, or genuine. b. VeoDesign as a preferred application for the Speech Server platform. It is an excellent development and testing solution for Speech Server applications, especially for developers new to the field," said Teresa Fagan, director of marketing in the Microsoft Speech Server product group. "By combining Microsoft Speech Server, VBSALT and sample speech applications for express development and testing at such a low cost, VeoDesign is helping to accelerate speech into the mainstream." VeoDesign also makes it easier for VARs and systems integrators to deploy an application multiple times. As the development and deployment environments are separate, the settings on the development platform need not be reconfigured with every installation. This simplifies and shortens the deployment process. www.pronexus.com |
