[BlueOnyx:04680] SAPI Support in BO

[John Sikes]

Off the wall question.
I have a customer that created a PHP website that uses a text area and  
he uses Dragon Dictate to populate that field.  This works except for  
the ability to use the programs correction functions.

This relies on something called Select & Say.  He posted a question to  
one of the Dragon help lists and was told "Unfortunately, the  
developers who designed your HTML application chose to ignore standard  
SAPI (Microsoft speech application program interface) coding, which  
unfortunately is a fairly common practice."  He is looking to me for  
advise, but I unfamiliar with this standard.

I researched SAPI but appears to be for local applications, not web  
apps.  I see that there are SAPI modules available for PHP but has  
anyone tried them in BO?

Anyone have any experience with making fully "select and say"  
compatible web applications on BO, or have any suggestions I can pass  
to my customer?

Dragon support also told him "Contact the developers to see if they  
are receptive to this recommendation because eventually every  
application will need to be SAPI compliant in order to be  
competitive."  He is the developer, but they are pointing that since  
this is not a windows box...... that is what is causing his problems  
and he should switch to a Windows provider.  Yuck

Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

John
