$25 - Robust Affordable Speech Recognition
Dear All, All those who have wanted to try speech recognition with Freeswitch but found the software cost too expensive or the recognition accuracy unsatisfactory, I encourage you to try our Vestec Speech Engine for Freeswitchat: http://www.vestec.ca/products A starter kit - which is a specially priced one port (ie. one channel) license for the standard engine - is available for only $25. Additional ports (channels) licenses can be purchased for $99/port. Of course, the engine comes with a Freeswitch connector, thereby allowing a Freeswitch user to bypass engine API and interact directly via Dialplan. Best regards, -Kashif Kashif Kahn VP, Business Development Vestec, Inc. Waterloo, ON Canada phone: (519) 885-7615
Bought the 25$ kit yesterday. Where do I download the connector ?? Is that in fs git repo ?? Or from vestec site ?? ( if so it's not enabled on my account ;( ) Also you need to wiki up some mad examples... Can't wait to play though .... J On 22/04/2010, at 0:08, Kashif Kahn <info@evestech.com> wrote:

Hi Kashif, I couldn't find it either. Perhaps because once I'd been into the store to buy the $25 kit, I didn't go back in there. Perhaps you could also think about putting another folder in the following location called "connectors" or something ? : https://www.vestec.ca/items/files That is where I had expected to see it. <https://www.vestec.ca/items/files>Brent On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 12:52 AM, Kashif Kahn <info@evestech.com> wrote:

Hi Brent, This is very strange. Respectfully, if you have already purchased a speech engine license from Vestec webstore, please follow the following steps to download the free FreeSWITCH connector: 1) Go to the main page of Vestec webstore at: http://www.vestec.ca/products 2) Login with the user name and password you used during registration (prior to purchase). If you have forgotten your password, click on "Forget Password" option and follow the directions. 3) Once you have logged into the webstore - on the main webstore page (that is clearly visible when you are logging in) - select the 5th option called "Speech Engine - FreeSWITCH Connector". (You can do this either by clicking on the dish icon to the left of the name or by pressing "Download Now") 4) Step (3) above will take you to a new page for "Speech Engine - FreeSWITCH Connector". On that page, you simply have to click on "Download Connector" icon on top right hand side. This will open a form for you where you can specify your OS and architecture for the desired connector and download it. If you have any issues, email me your phone number at info@evestech.com and I will be happy to walk you through the steps. You are also welcome to contact support@vestec.ca with any issues regarding use of speech engine or FS connector.

I think you missed my point. My point was that once I'd already purchased the starter kit, I expected to see the connector in the files download area. I did not think to go back into the webstore (and hadn't noticed it there the first time!) to look for the downloads there. Am I making sense? I had already figured it out by the time I emailed back, but I figured some user feedback on it would be helpful for you. You have two users (Jay and I) who couldn't see it. Just feedback for you, take it or leave it :) Brent On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 8:41 AM, Kashif Kahn <info@evestech.com> wrote:

Hi Brent, Thanks for the clarification. We will certainly take your feedback into account. You may not be aware of this, from a billing and accounting point of view, we need to keep track of FreeSWITCH connector downloads. That is why we have created a separate download procedure for the FreeSWITCH connector.
