ENT News | at | by Mike

Microsoft announced this week at the SpeechTEK 2006 conference in New York that it will integrate the full capabilities of its Speech Server 2007 into Office Communications Server 2007.

The move is part of the company's unified communications plans, which it originally announced last winter.

At the show, Microsoft also showed off Windows Speech Recognition technology, which will be incorporated into Windows Vista and will support user interactions in eight languages: U.S. English, U.K. English, traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, Japanese, German, French and Spanish.
