SWI-Speech: An Interface Between SWI-Prolog and Microsoft SAPI

This paper describes the implementation and use of SWI-Speech, an interface between SWI-Prolog and Microsoft SAPI (Speech Application Programming Interface). SWI-Speech is a component of PRONTO (Prolog Natural Language Toolkit), a package created by the Artificial Intelligence Center at the University of Georgia. This paper is divided into a discussion of how to use the current version of SWI-Speech, as well as a discussion of the actual implementation details of SWI-Speech.
