Announcing the GotSpeech Speech Server Showcase.
My recent post on what Microsoft must do to grow Speech Server created quite a stir. I think some people may have taken what I had to say the wrong way. I always have been and still am fully dedicated to Speech Server and its future. I've seen what is in store for OCS and Speech Server over the next couple of releases and it is exciting. There are good times ahead. Though I'm confident of the future I still think there are some things that can be done now and that is what I was trying to get across.
There are a lot of Speech Server applications (both 2004 & 2007) in production around the world taking and making thousands of call a day. What I want to do is to highlight those applications and make the world aware of where and how Speech Server is being used. To do that I will be standing up a Speech Server Showcase page as part of GotSpeech.net.
The showcase will allow companies and developers to highlight the applications that they have created using any version of Speech Server. To do this I will be collecting information over the next month while I get things up and ready. So if you want to be included and highlight your application then please email or send me the information below. I know some companies may not want to disclose all of this information but they can just disclose what they are comfortable with.
- Customer name
- What the app does
- A sample call flow recording
- The version of Speech Server used
- Who created and maintains the app
- Some call statistics - i.e. how many calls per hour or per day
- A small write up with anything you want to add about the app
To get things rolling I'm going to mention that Gold Systems has a demo line where you can interact with the applications that we have. That demo number is 866-212-4254. If you are new to Speech Server then you can call the number and interact with the Help Desk app, the V-Dialer and the PassWord Reset apps. This is not meant to be an advertisement for Gold Systems but I do know this number and am familiar with it so I'm using to to jump start things.*
Some people think that no one is using Speech Server and I know that is not true - there are literally thousands of applications out there either in production or in development.
This is your chance to do something to help promote Speech Server. Don't pass it up - send me the info and get your app into the Speech Server Showcase when it goes live.
*GotSpeech.net is completely independent and is not controlled by Gold Systems nor is it a marketing tool for Gold Systems . I am proud to be employed by Gold Systems but I make the decisions about the content on GotSpeech. While I may from time to time endorse something from different companies the fact still remains that I make the decisions and I can't be bought - GotSpeech will always be an independent voice for Speech Server.
