VBVoice Integrates with Microsoft Speech Server through MCRP

Pronexus, developer of the interactive voice response (IVR) toolkit Pronexus VBVoice, announced today that VBVoice developers can now take advantage of the Microsoft Speech Server automatic speech recognition (ASR) engines with the integration of Media Resource Control Protocol (MRCP).

The MRCP Connector is a plug-in that allows VBVoice IVR developers to use Speech Server and text-to-speech (TTS) products available in Microsoft’s Office Communications Server (OCS). This announcement follows VBVoice’s recent support for Nuance Recognizer 9.

“We’re happy to provide our customers with the highest quality of speech recognition,” said Pronexus Chief Architect Valentin Doroga. “The integration of MRCP with our toolkit means we’re offering even more options and cost savings for VBVoice developers who want to introduce ASR and TTS into their applications.”

VBVoice is a free-of-charge rapid application development (RAD) IVR toolkit that enables the creation of powerful, speech-enabled solutions, including voice self-service and unified communications systems. VBVoice's  graphical user interface, with fully programmable controls, allows developers to leverage their current programming skills in industry-standard languages such as VB.NET and C#.
