Hi Bruce,<br>
<br>
As I have already advised in an earlier post, Vestec does offer a
$25 starter kit for its speech recognition engine from its own
webstore. <br>
<br>
We are a partner of Digium but are also an an independent software
company that supports all major contact center and soft-PBX
platforms for its speech engine. And so $25 ASR starter kit is an
excellent means for potential customers to try out our speech
recognition engine at low cost. <br>
<br>
In due time, ASR 2.1 - including its starter kit version - will
become available from Digium store. As of now, we have not released
the latest ASR software to Digium as their web store does not allow
us to charge annual software maintenance (covering patches and
upgrades), a standard practice in the speech industry. <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-Kashif<br>
