Microsoft Unveils Speech Server 2007

By Nate Mook | Published April 5, 2006, 2:57 PM

Microsoft in May will release a beta of Speech Server 2007, the third revision of the company's speech and telephony platform. The software is designed for call centers and businesses that want to automate their customer support infrastructure through the use of VoIP and other technologies.

Speech Server 2007 brings support for VoiceXML, which serves as a standard for linking together voice-centric applications, as well as SIP and RTP to maximize integration with other VoIP gateways. New monitoring and analysis tools are also included in the release. Speech Server 2007 will be officially launched in late 2006.
