MSDN Webcast: Building Production Speech Applications for Non-Speech Experts (Level 300)

Overview The attendee of the webcast will learn how to build, debug, deploy and install production-quality speech interactive voice response applications quickly and efficiently using tools and methods familiar to a person. This webcast introduces the Metaphor tools, which work on top of the Microsoft Speech Software Development Kit to manage the low-level complexities of building speech applications. Metaphor tools allows the developer to use Microsoft Visual C# and form-based user interfaces to build speech dialogs without being an expert in speech technologies.
