Has anyone started playing with them? I started working on those as a Proof Of Concept for my client. Once I get a grip on those, I will post my experiences here. :-)

I've been itching to use the .NET Speech SDK.. The CD has been here for awhile now. I used to use Nuance Speach objects in Java. Was very nice, and easy to use SDK. Once thing I've "heard" about the .NET Speach SDK is that it does not use VoiceXML but something proprietary. I'm stunned VXML is not supported. Then again I havnt really looked into it to confirm this.

Actually it supports SALT (speech application language tags, based on HTML and XHTML) and is being submitted to W3C. You can get more information about it from here, <a href="http://www.saltforum.org/">The SALT Forum</a>.

Aww yes.. SALT! I remember him telling me that. Still too bad Voice XML isnt supported. VXML is pretty standard out in the voice enabled application world.

Made a cute little voice enabled RSVP system for weddings, parties, ect awhile back. It's not hard to think up voice enabled applications. Especially when it comes to CRM solutions. Pretty fun to make too.

CAUTION! You are going to experience installation headaches with the .NET Speech SDK IF! IF you are currently using or you have currently installed the .NET Framework 1.1!!!! Speech SDK will not work with .NET Framework 1.1. I got the CD and went throught that already. You have to jump through a few hoops if you have 1.1 already installed, if not no problems.

Yep. If you have 1.1 and 1.0 Frameworks installed, you need to uninstall both 1.1 and 1.0, then install 1.0 a fresh and then speech sdk for .NET and then 1.1. thats exactly they mention in the documentation. The reason behind this is, it is still a Beta.
