MS Speech Server

MSS is built-in with seamless integration to the following:

  • Telephony Application Services (TAS) components which provide a scalable and fault tolerant SALT application runtime environment that does the following:
    • Processes application dialogs, call control, speech requests, and call logging
    • Interprets SALT-enabled HTML via SALT interpreter
    • Coordinates all media processing and speech recognition requests
    • Handles call sessions
  • Supported Telephony Card / Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) Connection
  • Supported Telephony Boards:
    • Aculab
    • AudioCodes
    • Cantata Technology
    • Eicon Networks
    • Intel Dialogic
  • Supported Telephony Interface Manager (TIM):
    • Deals with enabling the Telephony board to communicate with MSS
    • Assigns an incoming call to an available SALT interpreter instance
    • Handles all media processing, such as recording the audio for a telephone call, and playing back prompts
  • Speech Application Deployment Service (SADS) that provides the following scenario:
    • Exchange switch (PBX) > supplies telephony board with dialled number > associates the number with the relevant application
  • Speech Engine Service (SES)
    • For speech recognition
  • Standard Web components on server:
    • IIS
    • .NET Framework
    • Visual Studio.NET development environment for Web Applications (ASP.NET)
