    Hello Bruce,<br>
    <br>
    All Vestec products - including the starter kit of its speech
    recognition engine - are available from the Vestec webstore. We have
    a partnership relationship with Digium, yes, but are an independent
    software company that supports all major contact center and soft-PBX
    platforms.<br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>

        I was&nbsp;refereed&nbsp;to Digium to purchase as your site wouldn't sell

              <br>
              ASR 2.1 software is currently available only from Vestec
              webstore. So, the upgrade is free to those who purchased
              ASR license from Vestec webstore during past 12 months or
              have an annual maintenance policy (covering fixes and
              upgrades) with Vestec.&nbsp; It will be some time before we
              release the latest generation software to Digium as Digium
              has not implemented a webstore mechanism to allow us to
              charge for annual software maintenance.<br>
              <br>

                            <br>
                            Regarding multiple ASR 2.1 announcements,
                            there was a problem with the biz list. I
                            tried posting several times but without
                            success. Ultimately I reported the problem
                            to the list coordinator and all posts
                            appeared shortly thereafter.<br>
                            <br>
                            Sorry about the inconvenience.<br>
