### SpeechKit**

With SpeechKit, you can develop VisualAge and IBM Smalltalk applications that you talk with instead of using a keyboard or computer mouse. Your applications will be so easy to use, that end users won't need traditional documentation and training. You can go directly from development to deployment.

### Talking with your applications is easy.

SpeechKit eliminates the need for you to understand the complexities of speech recognition to get started. You simply add SpeechKit components to your applications to recognize speech.

Resist the temptation to dive into the internals of speech recognition. SpeechKit gives you a tremendous head start by providing the code that receives recognized speech as text. You can add SpeechKit to your existing applications without a lot of work on your part. You can demonstrate your speech-aware applications within hours. You will dazzle your end users with your new application interface and elate management with your productivity using SpeechKit. After your end users are talking with your applications, you will have plenty of time to explore the internals of speech recognition.

### You can deliver speech-aware applications fast.

SpeechKit provides you a layer of software for using IBM's Speech Manager API (SMAPI). SpeechKit uses SMAPI transparent to your applications. This obviates the need for your applications to access SMAPI for basic speech recognition capabilities. It allows you to easily enhance your existing applications to respond to speech. All you have to worry about is what you want the end user to say, and how you want your applications to respond to it. For advanced speech recognition capabilities, your applications can access SMAPI for low level functions.

SpeechKit provides you an automatic way to talk with window and dialog controls. Optionally, you can have SpeechKit filter recognized speech for invoking menus, menu items, clicking buttons, setting focus, scrolling, selecting from a list, and operating controls. Buttons, menus, and menu items are invoked by saying the control label. All other controls must first receive focus by saying their object name before they can be operated by other spoken commands. SpeechKit enhances system components to make them speech-aware or provides an alternative speech-aware component to use.
