What is the difference between the EVV SDK and the Embedded Voice Toolkit? 4. Why is WebSphere Studio Device Developer required for the Embedded Voice Toolkit? 1. What is embedded voice? In order to have speech-enabled application on handheld devices, smaller-sized speech engines are necessary. For such devices as PDAs and smart phones, the IBM Embedded ViaVoice speech engines are available. This toolkit helps developers in producing the artifacts needed for such an environment. Back to top 2. What speech grammars are supported by the toolkit? For this toolkit preview, the Speech Recognition Control Language (SRCL) grammar is supported. Back to top 3. I've heard about the IBM Embedded ViaVoice (EVV) SDK. What is the difference between the EVV SDK and the Embedded Voice Toolkit? Before the Embedded Voice Toolkit Preview, the IBM EVV SDK was the only tool for the developers using the IBM ViaVoice speech technologies. Today, the Embedded Voice Toolkit Preview and the IBM EVV SDK together enable development and production of embedded voice applications. Back to top 4. Why is WebSphere Studio Device Developer required for the Embedded Voice Toolkit? Since most embedded voice applications are written in the C/C++ programming language, the C IDE found in WebSphere Studio Device Developer can be used to create these applications. Back to top
