IBM developerWorks: The Tcl/SMAPI Project

"Tcl/SMAPI is a Tcl extension library that makes possible the use of the IBM Speech Manager Applications Programming Interface (SMAPI) in Tcl scripts. IBM is using Tcl/SMAPI in automating the testing of the speech recognition engine, both off-line and on-line. Using simple Tcl scripts, it is possible to interact with the ViaVoice speech recognition engine in a platform-independent manner. Included in this documentation is a simple example script that demonstrates off-line (batch) recognition."

"Tcl/SMAPI currently is targeted to use the ViaVoice Millenium Edition engine, but can also be recompiled to work with earlier releases of the ViaVoice SDK. The source code for Tcl/SMAPI is available under the IBM Open Source License Agreement, and pre-built binaries are availabe for Tcl/Tk developers who have the ViaVoice product, but not the ViaVoice SDK. (Tcl/SMAPI currently works on both the Linux and Windows platforms.)"

"Developers may also use Tcl/SMAPI to quickly prototype graphical, speech aware applications using Tcl/Tk."
