What is Sapi?
The
interface of the SAPI programming (SAPI) is an audio interface developed by Microsoft. The idea of SAPI was designed for use in Windows operating systems and it was possible to use synthesis and speech recognition within the function of various applications of Windows. Since the first version, different versions of the Speech API have appeared. Some are standard with all Windows operating systems, while others are adapted for use with specific programs.
SAPI expands a number of consumers who can enjoy Windows -based programs. Given the aspect of SAPI speech recognition, it is possible that persons who can be physically limited by temporary or permanent conditions to still work with text processing programs and other foundations. At the same time, SAPI has the ability to translate the text into a spoken word. This feature can be particularly useful for people with impaired vision because it does possible to interact with the content on the web or simply enjoy receivinge -mails from friends and relatives.
In the earliest versions of SAPI, the ability of the interface compared to the versions used today used somewhat low quality. Programming made it possible to create sound reproduction, which was a somewhat robotic nature. Innovation in later versions, although effective for their time, increased the quality of voice reproduction to include words that people spoke, and, if necessary, archive for use in the program. When the SAPI voice is not electronically created, people who have been trained in voice work are often used to create these archives. For example, an artist who earns a living and announces a radio or a voice about working for television advertising would be an excellent candidate for creating text archives for speech that can be used using SAPI.
The most recent version of SAPI contains a number of improved features. Among them is the ability to adjust speed, objectEm and voice pitch and also increase pronunciation. Semantic interpretations make it possible to obtain definitions of words that are not easily understood. New versions of SAPI have been released every few years, each version offers some improvements or improvement of existing features that make the interface still useful in many applications.
