speech to text on Pocket PC

[Guest]

I cannot find any speech recognition support in compact .NET framenwork.
I tried SASDK, seems it's not supported by compact .NET framenwork either.
Any comments? thanks a lot.

Check out this article by Casey Chesnut http://www.brains-n-brawn.com/noReco
This should get you started.

It does not support it. There are SAPI apis in WinCE but I think you will
have to build your own engine. You'll have to try searching for a commercial
product or roll your own.

thanks.
This is a good article, but it's using pattern matching, may work on limited
voice commands, but won't help for speech-to-text, which need a large
vocabulary.
I think compact framework should support SASDK ASAP.

Oh, my boss won't pay for building our own engine,
thank you

Even if SAPI were built into the operating system for your Pocket PC, that
does NOT mean that you can to speech-to-text; you need a suitable plug-in
for SAPI that actually does that. All SAPI is is an API; it doesn't do
ANYTHING itself.

Windows CE 5.0 does have SAPI AVAILABLE, but it doesn't sound like you
understand what Windows CE is. It is NOT *an* operating system. It's a set
of components that can be assembled in an almost infinite number of ways to
provide an operating system for a custom device. The fact that a device
builder CAN build SAPI into his Windows CE 5.0 operating system does not
mean that all OEMs do that; in fact, almost no one does that. So, you'll
almost certainly have to purchase or write a recognition engine, as Casey
did in the article that you linked to...
