Please note that an Asterisk connector - for all major Asterisk releases and Linux distributions - is already available for the speech recognition engine. (The Asterisk
connector allows direct interaction with speech engine via Asterisk Dialplan; a developer does not need to use the engine API). <br><br><span>Finally, I would like to remind everyone that a 1-port license for a full-feature, full-function standard Vestec speech recognition engine - with an API as well as an Asterisk connector - is available at a special $25 discounted price.
