Hi everybody!!

I need to know if the Microsoft speech SDK is unable to develop applications
with the compact frameworks.

Thanks.
 
SAPI is for WinForms apps, but does not run on devices.
The SmartPhone 2003 SDK shows that it has an API for Speech Reco (SAPI Lite),
but an implementation has to be provided for it.
PPC 2003 SDK docs does not show the same API.
If its your own CE platform, maybe PBuilder has an implementation?

Speech .NET B3 is for web pages with SALT in Pocket IE.
i.e. not .NETcf, because PIE cannot host WinForm controls.
My understanding is that the Speech Reco happens on the server side,
and not on the device ... but i'm not positive.
Maybe it installs some Dll's you could pInvoke?

I did something similar in the past:
Basically my .NETcf app just recorded what the user said,
then packaged it up and sent to my web service,
along with the command and control grammar.
Then the web service returned the result.
For small C&C scenarios, it worked fine.
Dictation results were unrecognizable, except for numbers.

There might be a 3rd party solution too.
