Developer Workbench 2008
Develop Software that Speaks and Listens

Chant Developer Workbench is comprised of essential tools and components for developing software that speaks and listens. As an interactive toolset, it provides a development and testing environment for working with the component libraries and the speech technology objects they manage. You can manage grammars, profiles, lexicons, recognisers, synthesisers, and text-to-speech markup interactively and directly within application software you develop and deploy.

With the new Chant Developer Workbench 2008 interactive environment, there is:

  • Less you have to know - Now testing component methods is easier with built-in prompts for method signatures. Simply begin typing and pop-ups guide you through parameter specification.
     
  • Less you have to type - Now there is less to type since XML-based language editors have been enhanced to automatically insert the appropriate end tag. Simply type the begin tag and any attributes and pressing the enter key automatically inserts the appropriate end tag type for the declaration.
     
  • Less you have to debug - Now errors returned by grammar compilers are listed in the Error List window. If the error is line specific, simply click on the error to take you to the location of it in the document window.
     
  • Less you have to search - Now the recognition results are displayed in the Output window as they occur when testing grammars and recognisers. Recognition events continue to be displayed in the Events window. However you no longer have to search through them to see what was recognised.
     
  • Less you have to format - XML-based language editors now automatically auto-indent as you type into your document. Format Document and Format Selection menu and toolbar functions have been added to format the indents of the entire document or selected portion.

The Chant Developer Workbench product family includes Win32 Developer Editions of:

* GrammarKit,
* LexiconKit,
* ProfileKit, and
* SpeechKit, and
* VoiceMarkupKit.
 

 
Develop grammars for optimal context-free speech recognition with GrammarKit 2

 
GrammarKit 2
Develop grammars for high-performance recognition.

Shift your applications into high gear with speech recognition grammars. Context-free grammar recognition enables your applications to capture data very efficiently. Grammars also enable your applications to assert domain constraints to elevate data capture accuracy automatically.

ProfileKit 2
Administer speaker profiles for accurate recognition.

Maximise speech recognition accuracy by ensuring end users have completed training sessions with the recogniser. Speaker training—even for command and grammar-based recognition—is essential for accuracy.

Now you can easily administer speaker profiles within your applications using ProfileKit 2 from Chant. This new component library simplifies the process of managing profiles for Dragon NaturallySpeaking, IBM ViaVoice, SAPI 4, and SAPI 5 recognisers. You can backup and restore, activate, create, and delete profiles as needed within your application to adapt to the end user.

ProfileKit 2 Win32 Developer Edition includes ActiveX, CDLL, Java, .NET Framework, and VCL component library formats to support all your programming languages and provides sample projects for popular IDEs—such as the latest RAD Studio 2007 from CodeGear.

 

 
Efficiently manage speech recognition and synthesis with SpeechKit 5

 
SpeechKit 5
Integrate speech technology for hands-free operation.

You really don’t have to sit in front of a computer with a mouse and keyboard to use information technology. Your applications can be enhanced to speak and listen to you from where ever you need them to.

You can easily manage recognisers and synthesisers within your applications using SpeechKit 5 from Chant. This component library simplifies the process of managing Dragon NaturallySpeaking, IBM ViaVoice, SAPI 4, SAPI 5, or Vocon 3200 recognisers, and managing Cepstral, RealSpeak Solo, SAPI 4 or SAPI 5 synthesisers.

SpeechKit 5 Win32 Developer Edition includes ActiveX, CDLL, Java, .NET Framework, VCL, Web, and Xtra component library formats to support all your programming languages and provides sample projects for popular IDEs—such as the latest RAD Studio 2007 from CodeGear.

Fine tune speech synthesis using text markup with VoiceMarkupKit 2

 
VoiceMarkupKit 2
Fine-tune speech synthesis with text markup.

Avoid putting your end users to sleep with boring synthesised speech. You will be amazed at how adjusting the speed, adding pauses, injecting emphasis, and switching voices can break up the monotony of synthesised speech.

Now you can easily markup text-to-speech within your applications using VoiceMarkupKit 2 from Chant. This new component library simplifies the process of generating SAPI 4, SAPI 5, and W3C SSML markup language to use with your favourite speech synthesisers.

VoiceMarkupKit 2 Win32 Developer Edition includes ActiveX, CDLL, Java, .NET Framework, and VCL component library formats to support all your programming languages and provides sample projects for popular IDEs—such as the latest RAD Studio 2007 from CodeGear.
