How do I determine when to use managed SAPI or COM SAPI?
.NET applications can access SAPI recognizer and synthesizers via managed SAPI or COM SAPI APIs. The APIs are different and managed SAPI offers only a subset of the full COM SAPI capabilities.

White Papers
The number of White Papers in the Knowledge Base is: 6. The last three updated White Papers are as follows:
Fine-tune Speech Synthesis Using Text-to-Speech Markup
Text-to-speech (TTS) markup is text with imbedded indicators that control speech synthesis from the text. Speaking qualities such as the speed, pitch, emphasis, and word pronunciation may be tailored in reproducing speech from text. Chant VoiceMarkupKit is comprised of application ready software components that handle the complexities of text-to-speech (TTS) markup language management that enables you to generate TTS markup to enhance the playback quality when synthesizing.

Integrate Speech Technology for Hands-free Operation
Speech recognition is the process of converting an acoustic signal (i.e. audio data), captured by a microphone or a telephone, to a set of words. These words can be used for controlling computer functions, data entry, and application processing. Speech synthesis is the process of converting words to phonetic and prosodic symbols and generating synthetic speech audio data. Synthesized speech can be used for answering questions, event notification, and reading documents aloud. Chant SpeechKit is comprised of application ready software components that handle the complexities of speech recognition and speech synthesis to minimize the programming necessary to develop software that speaks and listens.

Administer Speaker Profiles for Accurate Speech Recognition
A recognition profile is a collection of information used by a speech recognition engine to increase its recognition accuracy for a specific individual’s voice and environment. Profile management enables you to administer the functions necessary to create, delete, train, backup, and restore speech recognition profiles as part of your deployed application. Chant ProfileKit is comprised of application ready software components that handle the complexities of managing profiles and persisting them in files for deployment and recovery.
