Speech SDK! No winform support?

I built a very nice we app in minutes, and the tools make it very easy to build simple web sites.

But I need speech in winforms!.... 

Does anyone out there know what I'm getting at   My target audience is win xp home, so asp.net isn't really an option, haven't ruled it out though.

    Have you seen the speech sdk   There's no way I would attempt to reproduce for winforms what they did with asp.net!

    Right now I'm thinking, if I wanted to use the speech, I could buy 3rd party stuff, or I could just embed an IE control

    database of wav files   In the visual studio projects for web based speach, you type in all your prompts, and you run a coverage utility - and you can record right there - it splits up the words for you even, so you can reuse parts of a sentance.

    But its all Web!!!!! All invisible web pages.

    No I havn't seen speech SDK, and indeed it'll be a heap of trouble to implement it and will best be left to the specialist. To me it looks that it might be part of Whidbeys SoundPlayer, if it isn't present there yet it ought to be suggested to the PTB's. Certainly for those of us who need/want to devellop for the visually impaired.
    I must say though that program's that produce speech from entered lines produce awkward dutch, so internationalisation requires a huge database of (probably) .wav files.

    As far as I know the .Net framework is soundless, Direct X 9.0, is the way currently to add sound. I gather to incorperate speach you need to sample a lot of wav's, vowels vocals and transient( ).
    Further a complicated string analiser that splits the string into the sampled, and string those wavs together. simular to the drum sample mentioned elsewhere.

    Someone probably already did this analysis, but it is not part of winforms. The ptb's still need to integrate managed Direct X 9.0 into the framework (DirectSound() is I do think up to specs, DirectDraw() is an awkward heap of trouble which ought to be simplified (not working tutorial (device won't create!), great samples (working, but too complex to understand for the newbie (like me)))
