Introduction

Microsoft provides a set of speech input (recognition) engines and speech output (text-to-speech or TTS) engines you can use with your Microsoft® Agent-enabled applications or Web pages. Use of these engines is subject to the Microsoft Agent license agreement and the supplemental addendum displayed when you install the engines. This license entitles you to distribute the engines, but only when using them through Microsoft Agent API and using a visible character.

This document describes the procedure for installing and accessing the speech engines supplied by Microsoft for use with Microsoft Agent. For speech engines supplied by other vendors, check your vendor's information for this information.
