ALL NEW Speech Newsgroups!

  • Article

POSTED BY: KEN CIRCEO, Lead Tech Writer

As the Speech Community continues to grow, so does the need for better channels of communication. To that end, we've created three new public newsgroups to handle different areas of speech:

   Speech Server
microsoft.public.speech.server
Description: General issues about Microsoft Speech Server (MSS), a
development and deployment platform for voice recognition applications.

Speech Desktop
microsoft.public.speech.desktop
Description: General public newsgroup for Microsoft speech and natural
language technologies that run on the desktop.

Speech Mobile & Embedded
microsoft.public.speech.mobile
Description: General issues about Microsoft speech technologies and
applications such as VoiceCommand that run on the Windows Mobile
and Windows CE powered devices.

Feel free to check them out when you have the chance.

New to Newsgroups?
Traditionally, “newsgroup” refers to a discussion that is fed to USENET and accessed with a newsgroup reader such as Outlook Express. USENET is a global collection of servers that exchange articles in a hierarchical set of newsgroups. Conversations between these servers use Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP). Most people access USENET through their Internet Service Provider (ISP). Like all Microsoft Public Newsgroups, the new Speech newsgroups are a part of the USENET hierarchy.

How do you access Microsoft Newsgroups?
There are two ways (that I know of) to access any Microsoft newsgroup: through Outlook Express and through the microsoft.com Web interface.

In Outlook Express, click Tools > Newsgroups. Select the newsgroups you want to subscribe to, and then click Subscribe.

On the Web, go to https://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx, and locate the newsgroups in the tree:

English > Servers > Server Applications > Speech Server > Speech Server
English > Office and Desktop Applications > Speech Desktop > Speech Desktop
English > Mobile and Embedded > Speech
