  2. Click Install Microsoft Speech Server.

  3. If all prerequisite software is found, click Install Microsoft Speech Server on the Installation Guide screen.

    • Select Complete to install all components, and then click Next.

    • Select Custom to install only selected components, click Next, and on the Custom Install screen, clear the components you do not want installed.

  8. Select the type of applications to support (Telephony Applications, Multimodal Applications, or Both Telephony and Multimodal Applications), and click Install.

Feature Restrictions for Standard Edition

  • Speech Engine Services (SES) and Telephony Application Services (TAS) must be installed on the same computer.

  • TAS requires that SES be installed.

  • TAS and SES require that MSS Components be installed.

  • TAS and SES require that Administrative Tools be installed.

Remarks

To minimize disruption of service, disconnect the server from the production environment before installing MSS.

Installing MSS temporarily interrupts the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service. For more information about the WMI service, see Understanding WMI Scripting.

MSS sets permission levels on the computers where it is installed. After installing MSS, only Administrators (not Users or Guests) are able to log on interactively.

To install only the Administrative tools without MSS, see Installing Administrative Tools.
