ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft said this week that it's shipping the first beta test version of Speech Server 2007 on schedule, and plans to release the final code this fall.

Speech Server 2004 heralded Microsoft's entry into the interactive voice response system marketplace two years ago. The 2007-branded version will be the third release of the system.

The new Speech Server 2007 will feature support for VoiceXML, an established W3C standard that Microsoft had avoided supporting until now in favor of Speech Application Language Tags. The new version will support both.
