Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Microsoft Speech Server is becoming increasingly popular. There are three primary components developers wanting to develop speech applications need to be familiar with: the Speech SDK, Telephony, and ASP.NET server controls. Each of these can be used independently, but in many cases, all three need to be used to build truly compelling applications.

Pro Microsoft Speech Server 2007 walks intermediate to advanced developers through the basics of speech and telephony technology. It then addresses Microsofts specific implementations and what it can do for most companies. From there, the specific components are discussed individually in depth. Youll create an application from scratch, building upon an existing web site, but adding brand new functionality as well. All of the issues associated with setup, security and administration, development, debugging, and deployment are included in the walkthroughs.

Michael Dunn has been doing software development for over seven years, four in .Net development and three years of interactive voice response development. Michael currently works for Magenic Technologies, where he can fulfill his passion for developing speech applications each day. He speaks at user groups and code events around the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't be much better, July 4, 2007
I've had this book for about two weeks now and it is one of the best books I've read in a while.

one of the biggest problems with previous versions of speech server was that there was very little available on it. Dunn's book fixes that with the new release of Office Communications Server/Speech server.

Having worked through all the examples, everything works as advertised. The examples are relevant and real-world without being too complex to follow. It's an easy read and the writing style is relaxed, professional yet makes you want to keep reading.

Overall the book is small and can be worked through quickly. But even though it's small, it gives you everything you need to feel more than comfortable with the product and so far, I certainlyl haven't come across anything important that wasn't covered in the book.

Considering how easy to read it is, this book is excellent for any developer, whether or not they want to actually start writing speech apps or not. It works great for getting you acquainted and works equally well if you are trying to build complex speech applications.

Very well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars good on development, missing environment configuration how to, January 9, 2009
By Michael C. Alford (Bridgeport, WV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Book is very straight forward and concise on the programming side of using speech server. If that's all your looking for then an excellent book.

However it's missing how to setup and integrate speech server into a telephony environment. Which there are books on using Office Communications Server 2007 on that, but there should be some attention on how to configure an environment to get all the examples working. IMO this is a big missing section to an otherwise good introduction to xyz technology book. If you just follow the install guidelines in the book you will only be able to do inbound applications. All the outbound examples will fail to work until you properly configure at least an OCS 2007 SE server with Mediation Server on it and configure your IP PBX to talk to it

3.0 out of 5 stars Good high-level overview., April 12, 2008
By Peter Walke (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was good to figure out what speech server is and how to develop simple applications. I would have liked to see a bit more of a deep dive in the Worfklow Foundation interaction. There are some gotchas with respect to how you manage state accross different users that should have been covered more in depth.
