Abstract

The present invention provides an application-independent and engine-independent middleware layer (204) between applications (202) and engines (206, 208). The middleware provides speech-related services to both applications (202) and engines (206, 208), thereby making it far easier for application vendors and engine vendors to bring their technology to consumers.
