Hi Kashif,<br><br>I'd be interested to give this a try, but we're essentially a FreeSWITCH<br>house.&nbsp; Do you have an API that we could work to, or do you support<br>MRCP?<br><br>Thanks --<br><br>Dave<br><br><br>&gt; Hello Everyone,<br>
&gt; <br>&gt; Vestec is a Premier Partner of Digium and aims to popularize and<br>&gt; commoditize speech recognition with Asterisk through high accuracy,<br>&gt; low-cost, easy-to-use speech engines. <br>&gt; <br>&gt; We recently launched a special promotion called
 the "starter kit" to<br>&gt; dramatically lower the cost of trying speech recognition or<br>&gt; introducing it to potential clients. For only $25, anyone can purchase<br>&gt; a perpetual license for one-port (ie. one channel) of Vestec's<br>
&gt; full-function, full-feature standard edition engine. Our standard<br>&gt; engine is Digium certified, supports industry standards-based grammar<br>&gt; writing, generates 90%+ recognition accuracy without "tuning", allows<br>
&gt; 500 vocabulary items per recognition, comes with American English<br>&gt; acoustic model and an Asterisk connector bridge, provides free<br>&gt; installation support, and is compatible with all major Asterisk<br>&gt; releases and Linux distributions. An Asterisk user can interact with<br>
&gt; the speech recognition engine via Dialplan. Numerous speech grammar<br>&gt; writing examples are included with the speech recognition engine as<br>&gt; well.<br>&gt; <br>&gt; The&nbsp; specially
 priced $25 speech starter kit can be purchased from<br>&gt; Digium at:<br>&gt; <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/vestec.php"></a><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/vestec.php"></a><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/vestec.php"><a href="http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/vestec.php">http://www.digium.com/en/products/software/vestec.php</a></a><br>
