The Microsoft Speech Platform consists of a Software Development Kit (SDK), a Runtime, and Runtime Languages (language packs that enable speech recognition or text-to-speech for a specific language) that you can redistribute with your applications.

The Microsoft Speech Platform SDK 11 provides a comprehensive set of development tools for building voice-enabled applications that leverage Microsoft's redistributable speech engines.

You can use the technologies and tools in the Speech Platform SDK 11 to give applications the ability to recognize spoken words (speech recognition) and to generate synthesized speech (text-to-speech or TTS).

Using this SDK, you can give users an effective and natural way to interact with your applications, complementing the use of mice, keyboards, controllers, and gestures.

The documentation for the Speech Platform SDK 11 includes a programming guide and reference sections to help you learn to use the speech application programming interfaces (APIs) to manage the Microsoft Speech Platform Runtime 11 and engines for speech recognition and TTS.

The programming guide and reference sections contain sample code, and additional samples are available in the folders where you installed the Speech Platform SDK 11.
