API Overview

Since we use simple HTTP protocols it is easy to access the speech api servers from many different platforms and programming languages. We provide JavaScript, flash and applet API's for browser side recognition. We also provide support for other languages that can be used for server side speech or for standalone programms.

At present we have speech APIs for these languages:

  • Javascript
  • Java
  • PHP
  • Python
  • Ruby
  • HTTP API
  • Command Line Inteface (using Java Libraries)
    •

    The javascript API has three modes. Basic, Advanced and Automatic. Basic mode is the best way to get started. It provides a simple set of methods and callbacks that you can use in your web pages. Advanced mode integrates nicely with modern javascript toolkits like jquery. In advanced mode you design the grammar segments that will create events, and you write the javascript callbacks that will process those events. Automatic mode allows you to add basic speech processing to your web page with minimal amount of code. You indicate which html tags you want to speech enabled and add some grammar hints to thos tags.
