“SpeechWorks International has announced the Open Speech Web, an
interconnected speech services network to enable ‘speech-surfing’
Internet access and connections to speech-enabled applications with
spoken commands over a telephone.”
“SpeechWorks officials say the company has two products,
currently in beta, slated for release to Open Source developers.
Source code for the Speech Browser and SpeechLinks is slated for
preview later this month, says SpeechWorks spokesperson Steve
Chambers.”
“SpeechLinks and the SpeechWorks Speech Browser will be
distributed as Open Source software to all interested developers
including other speech software companies,” Chambers says.
“Both SpeechLinks and Speech Browser are currently in beta test at
a limited number of partners and customers. The SpeechLink 1.0
specification will be available for review at SpeechWorks’ Web site
on July 15. SpeechLinks’ product code is expected to be available
via web download in third quarter, and Speech Browser in the fourth
quarter, 2000.”
