Chant Launches Speech Manager

Chant has introduced Speech Manager, a tool that enables applications to create and schedule speech processing requests.

With Chant Speech Manager, developers can generate and manage speech processings with a few lines of code. Speech Manager provides capabilities that leverage Acapela, CereProc, Cepstral, Microsoft, and Nuance speech technologies.

Some applications do not require access to the extensive features offered by speech technology SDKs and Chant product class libraries.

"This latest Chant Application Helper, Speech Manager, is a revelation for many application developers," said John Earle, president and founder of Chant, in a statement. "App scenarios of all kinds can be addressed by developers who can integrate complex capabilities with as little as a single line of code and don't have to worry about a lot of issues."

With Speech Manger, requests are created, scheduled, and destroyed. A request is created with optional parameters that specify the details for transcription or synthesis. Once a request is created, it can be managed with various priorities.
