Explore ways to do more with Microsoft Speech Technology.

More Information

Chant Developer Workbench 2021 includes GrammarKit to compile speech recognition grammars, KinesicsKit to detect movement in 3D space, LexiconKit to generate pronunciations for synthesis clarity, ProfileKit to manage speech recognition profiles, SpeechKit to recognize speech and synthesize text to speech, VoiceMarkupKit to markup text for tailored speech synthesis, and VoiceXMLKit to validate and run VoiceXML. It also provides an interative toolset for editing and testing with Microsoft grammars, movement detection sensors, speaker profiles, speech synthesis, Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML), and VoiceXML.
