Opening Overview
Chant GrammarKit makes compilation and management of grammars a single-purpose application for windows programmers who work with voice recognition. Its lean. It doesn’t take up your time. You will find a toolset that helps you build, test and deliver grammars so your application understands what it should when it should.
About Chant GrammarKit
The main thing Chant GrammarKit does is the dirty work of producing, compiling, and storing compiled grammar binaries so that your application can directly use. It allows the most common XML grammar syntaxes for all the Windows recognizers and provides language bindings so that you can easily integrate it with C++, Java, Delphi, or .NET applications. This makes it most suitable for development team that is concerned about being in control of how recognizers behave in all runtime situations.
How It Operates
This makes use of grammars in standard XML formats and sends them to the relevant compiler. Compile grammars in advance and store the binary files for distribution or compile at runtime on demand if your application must adapt to new data. It communicates with recognizers that support Microsoft SAPI 5 and W3C SRGS grammar formats. It returns messages, warnings, and errors to the compiler via callback functions so your application can respond quickly. Enjoy complete control during development and deployment.

Key Features
- Fick compiled and validated grammar syntax for speech recognition engines.
- Persist compiled grammar binaries that apps could load entire ready-to-run grammars.
- Microsoft SAPI 5 XML grammar, and W3C SRGS XML grammar formats support.
− Cross-language class libraries: C++, C++Builder, Delphi, Java, and .NET Framework.
- Sample project for the most popular IDEs, especially to help integration into Visual Studio and other toolchains.
Why It Helps
When you develop features that support speech, GrammarKit greatly reduces the amount of duplication and tedium involved. You won’t be connecting up low level compiler calls manually or struggling to understand why your grammar isn’t being recognized at runtime. You’ll have a known path to go from a grammar source to a compiled binary your application can use, so you can debug more quickly and spend less time trying to discover why recognitions suddenly go awry. Also it can load precompiled grammars so your application doesn’t have to compile them itself at runtime when you deploy.
Licensing is simple. The thirty day trial lets you explore the product in your own time and test it in your environment before taking the plunge. Pricing is per-developer, included in the purchase price is a year of updates and support. This allows early adoption by small teams.
Common Use Cases
- Incorporate Prebuilt grammars into a desktop application for reduction of initial recognition delay.
- Create dynamic grammars on the fly so that all voice options are in sync with current set up, or user information.
- Bring together the management of the grammar into the CI builds to make sure the resulting binaries will be faithful (compared with the source of the grammar you tested)
Use sample projects to research migrating grammar-loaded features between language and IDEs.
- Test and debug the syntax of the grammar interactively with the live audio while the software is being developed (if a speech testing elements is used).
Final Thoughts
GrammarKit isn’t attempting to be an all encompassing solution. It concentrates on the compilation of grammatical items and all the asides of their existence. That narrowed focus might saves you some unpleasant surprises when you roll your application into a product. If you need rule based Grammer recognition and wish to handle the processing of those grammer rules yourself then it may be what you are looking for. You will find official downloads and components from known sources on which to get started.
