TalkBack

Demonstrates
============
TalkBack demonstrates speech recognition (SR) and text-to-speech (TTS)
capabilities. You can speak any word or phrase and TalkBack will attempt to
recognize it, display it on the screen and even play back the actual spoken
phrase, allowing you to confirm the transcription.

Its unsophisticated interface belies the richness of the underlying tool suite.
TalkBack does everything that a major SR application needs to do and does it in
only a few lines. It initializes the SR and TTS engines, accepts input from the
microphone, and provides audio playback through speakers. It also recognizes
words, displays them on the screen, and speaks them back with the computer's TTS
voice.

Sample Language Implementations
===============================
This sample is available in C++.
