Deploying SALT Markup Applications

You can develop speech applications by using only Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) markup without using the development tools in Microsoft Speech Application SDK Version 1.1 (SASDK).

However, you must still have an application manifest file so that the application can be managed in the Speech Server environment. See About Application Manifest Files.

To deploy a SALT-only application

  1. Copy the application files to a virtual folder on a Web server and then test the application.

  2. Set the MIME type to SALT on the Web server for each page type that contains SALT markup as shown in this example:

    mime-type=text/salt+html

    This setting causes the Microsoft Speech Add-in to automatically create instances of SALT objects.

  3. Use Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) to set the folder containing the application as an application root folder.

  4. Install the Speech Add-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer on each client computer that will use the application.

Any computer with the Speech Add-in installed can run the application by going to the URL of the default Web page of the application.

If your SALT-only application uses telephony channels, set it up with Speech Application Deployment Service (SADS). To learn how, see Assigning Telephony Channels to Speech Applications.
