GotSpeech.NET

hello, we are done implementing 4 applications on MSS. Boy, it was pain porting vxml from other platforms to this one. Openser is configured to convert from PSTN gateways to the speech server.

 What is the easiest way to buy license? I didn't find very straight forward approach in buying them.

 Next, the speech server developer edition has limitation of 4 ports simultaneously. Do I have to download OCS or developer edition can be converted automatically? Primarily, we are interested only in Speech server and we do not want to install anythign else apart from it. I understand the license has to be bought for ocs but is speech server download ok and be converted or ocs in entirety should be downloaded?

Thanks much.

 

I feel your pain. My experience is that porting VXML in general, regardless of the platform, is a real pain. Straight VXML is nice and portable but I find most real-world application use a number of platform-specific properties. My biggest complaint with the MSS VXML interpreter is the limited control over the engine you have from within VXML.

As for licensing, you'll want "Microsoft Office Communications Server Standard Edition 2007" (Part# KNA-00100). I found it on CDW at http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1296885. Speech Server is a component of OCS. The OCS license includes a license for Speech Server.

Speech Server Developer Edition is only limited on Windows XP and Vista. There is no port limitations on Windows Server 2003. In fact what you'll want to do is purchase the OCS 2007 license but install the Developer Edition. This will give you a Speech Server  instance without all the OCS overhead.
