The Microsoft Speech Application SDK (SASDK) is a developer's kit for providing speech interfaces to Microsoft ASP.NET Web applications. The MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK comprises a group of resources, comprising ASP.NET Speech Controls, a rich voice mode grammar library, speech development tools, debugging tools, and log analysis tools. These tools allow developers to make applications that recognize spoken instructions and depending on the mode, create a spoken or a visual response to the user.

Introducing Microsoft Speech SDK
Discover the features of the Microsoft speech SDK, computer speech technology, and speech-enabled applications.
The MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK allows Web developers to create, debug and deploy speech-enabled Microsoft ASP.NET Web applications intended for devices ranging from telephones to Windows Mobile-based devices and desktop PCs.
The MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK offers a complete set of authoring tools for developing speech-enabled Web applications that operate on rich clients such as a desktop PC, a Tablet PC or a Pocket PC. The tools are flawlessly integrated into Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, enabling developers to make use of a familiar and powerful development environment.
Beside these authoring tools, the MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK offers a powerful set of ASP.NET Speech Controls, Speech Add-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer, a rich grammar library, trial and reference applications, speech debugging tools, an application event logging mechanism, and documentation.

Speech Application SDK Tutorial
Learn how to create an easy voice-only application using the MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK tools for Visual Studio .NET.
Introducing Computer Speech Technology
Two basic technologies inspiring speech-enabling computer applications: speech recognition (SR) and speech synthesis.
Imagining the Power of the Speech-Enabled Web
Developers who create ASP.NET Web applications with the MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK can add the genuineness and power of speech interaction to a variety of applications. This topic explains this point with a scenario, and then summarizes several types of applications to which speech can be valuable.
The Speech Application SDK and the Speech Application Platform
The MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK is just one element of the Microsoft Speech Platform. See this document for a summary of the contents of both the MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK and Microsoft Speech Server (MSS), which together comprise the Microsoft Speech Application Platform (Speech Platform), as well as a short introduction to Speech Applications Language Tags (SALT) and ASP.NET Speech Controls.
Making Applications simpler to Build
The keys to making speech application building fast and simple are the richly-featured MICROSOFT SPEECH SDK tool suite, and a group of robust ASP.NET Application Speech Controls that include complex logic for common application scenarios. See this topic for a short description of the Visual Studio .NET 2003 tools for creating and debugging speech-enabled Web applications, and for a more detailed picture of what ASP.NET Application Speech Controls are and why they are helpful.
ASP.NET Distributed Speech Application Scenarios
This topic offers a high-level summary of the how the components of the Speech Platform react with one another in typical usage scenarios, including telephony, desktop multimodal, and Windows Mobile-based Pocket PC 2003 (Pocket PC) scenarios.
