Speech Application Programming Interface
(programming, standard)(SAPI) Microsoft's standard API
for speech synthesis and speech recognition in Windows 95.

low-level speech software from any number of verndors, while
retaining the same API.
Mike Rozak is the lead of the SAPI project at Microsoft. Numerous major speech vendors have announced SAPI-support plans. SRAPI, the competing speech recognition API by Lotus/WordPerfect, is fast becoming obsolete.
