I need to install the following packages in order to work with the Microsoft Speech Platform :

  • Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime,
  • Microsoft Speech Platform - SDK,
  • Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime Languages.

I had done this about a year ago but today I can't find them on the Microsoft's website. When I try to get access in the old link, an 404 ERROR occurred.

Is there any way to get these packages again?

    You are right, all the links are dead (even their own). Could be that someone made a mistake of some description – TheGeneral Feb 01 '21 at 07:42
  • IMHO not really a SO question. You should just contact MS support. Maybe there's a licensing issue. That means they're not allowed to distribute it anymore. – JHBonarius Feb 01 '21 at 08:01
  • Hello, what kind of project do you use ? Which version of .NET ? System.Speech is included since Windows Vista in the .NET Framework 5.0. So you just have to create a .NET Framework 5.0 or greater project, then add the assembly System.Speech that is already shipped with .NET – StringBuilder Feb 01 '21 at 08:20
  • Now i use .NET Framework 4.6.1, but I tried to run the project on version 5.0. If i run a project on a machine without these packages i get the following error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID CLSID {49428A60-C997-4D0E-9808-9E326C178D58}} failed due to the following error: 80040154 When i try to do: SpeechRecognitionEngine sre = new SpeechRecognitionEngine(ci); as far as I understand this is what you need a file MSSpeech_SR_ru-RU_TELE.msi, but it disappeared from the official site. – Александр Каштанов Feb 01 '21 at 12:33

You can get them in the UCMA 4.0 SDK Setup here

The links are dead.

According to these docs, the Speech service is a possible replacement.

You can download the Speech SDK here.

I have no inside knowledge, but I suspect the Microsoft acquisition of Nuance was the motivation for removing these downloads.
