And the last test candidate from the list. We have accomplished the first tests with Nuance Vocon speech engine, speaker independent mobile ASR framework. The results are astonishing and even exceeded my expectations. It has a good confidentiality ratio with combinations of words and phrases, flexible and yet powerful in defining the speech grammars. Though it provided to be of no use in recognizing alphabetized pronounced words. The golden rule here is, the longer the pronounced word (or phrase) is, the better confidentiality level can be expected in recognition.
Although there is no .NET wrapper for the framework libraries for Windows Mobile, I think we'll go for Vocon. We'll try to define the range of functionality needed in our applications and wrap the required functions to use them in .NET Compact Framework projects. The ASR engine will be used to recognize application specific commands and input data. The mobile application will gather them from the ASR engine and react accordingly.
One last thing to mention, TTS engine is merchandised separately from ASR, it is not an integral part of Vocon.
