  somebody told me to use microsoft speech server (sdk and so on)</p>
  
  <p>when i have this, how do i programm an application, and with which programming language (development enviroment?)?</p>
  
  <p>has someone experience with asterisk or SVOX?</p>
  
  <p>i need to do:</p>
  
  <p>speech recognition
  speech synthesis</p>
  
  <p>i doesn't have to be a very good speech recognition - i think 30 -50 words should be enough for the beginning.
  i'm working with windows.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
