Speech recognition technology has been used in some of
Microsoft's products, including Microsoft Dictation, Office

XP, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and Windows Mobile.
However, prior to Windows Vista, speech recognition was not
mainstream. In response, Windows Speech Recognition was

the operating system the first mainstream version of
Microsoft Windows to offer fully-integrated support for

Conclusion
 Speech recognition will revolutionize the way people conduct
business over the Web and will, ultimately, differentiate
world-class e-businesses. VoiceXML ties speech recognition
and telephony together and provides the technology with
which businesses can develop and deploy voice-enabled Web
solutions TODAY! These solutions can greatly expand the
accessibility of Web-based self-service transactions to
customers who would otherwise not have access, and, at the
same time, leverage a business’ existing Web investments.
Speech recognition and VoiceXML clearly represent the next
wave of the Web. In near future people will be using their
home and business computers by speech not by keyboard or
mouse. Home automation will be completely based on speech
recognition system. LOGO
