Hi :

I'm doing some research into voice response systems.  OS/2 seems to be
the platform of choice for this type of technology.  Does anyone have
any experience with voice response development kits like FAR Voice for
OS/2 that they would consider relaying?

My experience has been limited.  I have done a few things under DOS
with DiaLogic voice boards.  The results were OK, actually, but memory
constrained, etc.  Programming in C at the state machine level was not
very productive.  A truely interesting product is a library called Now
Your Talking for CA Clipper.  All around, not a bad product, it just
lacks the reliability necessary for a major voice response project.

Ultimately, the product would allow a drag and drop interface, totally
under OS/2.  I've seen a couple of solutions that program under
Windows, but run under OS/2.  Perhaps someone will build a VisualAge
class that will alow this type of functionality.


Best wishes,

Tom
