  Microsoft Speech Technologies Homepage

Microsoft Speech Server 2004 (MSS) provides English (U.S.) as the default language for development and deployment. To support speech applications in another language, you must install the appropriate language pack. The following language packs are available:

  • French (Canada)
  • Spanish (United States)

Installing a Language Pack

A language pack enables you to develop MSS applications in another language. After you install a language pack, you can use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 to select the language engine and make modifications to the phonemes, enabling speech recognition and text-to-speech emulation/simulation with the new language's model and voices.

You must install the language pack on each computer in your MSS implementation. The language pack Setup Wizard detects which services are running on the computer, displays a list of the language support files that will be installed, and then installs the files. Depending on your MSS configuration, the Setup Wizard may install any of the following files on each computer:

  • Speech recognition and text-to-speech engine resources
  • Language support files for Speech Server
  • Language support files for the SASDK Tools
  • Language-specific documentation for the SASDK
  • Language support files for the ASP.NET speech controls

To install a language pack

  1. Insert the Microsoft Speech Server Language Pack CD into the CD drive.

  2. Open the folder for the language pack you want to install.

    Language Folder
    French (Canada) FR-CA
    Spanish (United States) ES-US

  3. Double-click setup.exe. The Setup Wizard opens.

  4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The Setup Wizard detects which services are running on the computer and installs language support accordingly.

  5. Click Finish to complete Setup.

Removing a Language Pack

When you remove a language pack, all language engines, language support files, and applicable registry keys are removed, and all user interface text reverts to the default language.

Note The following procedure describes how to remove a language pack by using the installation CD. You can also remove a language pack by using Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel.

To remove a language pack

  1. Insert the Microsoft Speech Server Language Pack CD. The Setup Wizard detects the language pack on your computer.
  2. Select Remove, and then click Next.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Remarks

You can repair a faulty language pack installation by inserting the Microsoft Speech Server Language Pack CD and selecting Repair in the Program Maintenance dialog box. Repairing a language pack installation reinstalls all language engines, language support files, and applicable registry keys.

Each language pack has a unique product code. The Setup Wizard for a particular language pack can only install, remove, or repair that specific language pack.
