Microsoft to release Speech Server 2007 as part of the OCS Public Beta
With the Public Beta release of OCS 2007, Microsoft will also release a Public Beta of Speech Server 2007.
In the last week of March everyone who registers for the OCS 2007 Public Beta will be able to download the Beta from the MSDN download center. You can already now pre-register for the Public Beta at http://www.microsoft.com/uc.
The release will include the runtime, as well as the tools and the language packs.
On that web site there also will be the other SDKs that ship with OCS, most interestingly the UC Managed API v1.0 on which SIP stack Speech Server is built. This API includes primarily the signaling APIs that talk SIP to the outside world.
Support for the Public Beta will be given through Microsoft’s UC Forums on microsoft.com. People from the Microsoft Product Group as well as MVPs and other Speech Server users will be able to assist people with questions.
On the release date GotSpeech.Net will formally open up our Speech Server 2007 forums for you to ask questions.
We will also post training course ware on how to write applications with the new software shortly after that date. Michael Dunn and I are working on that tutorial now and it will be made available as soon as we have all of the code ready.
These are exciting times for Speech Server developers and GotSpeech.Net will be here to guide you. GotSpeech.Net has been participating in the TAP release for Speech Server 2007 and we already have the expertise needed to assist you as you start using the new version.
