I would like to announce the second release of UniMRCP connector bridge for Asterisk.

The connector bridge is prepackaged with Asterisk-1.6.1.14 and UniMRCP-r1456 (> 0.9.0). These are the recommended versions to use, though other versions are also supported.

This release contains a few enhancements in speech resource module (res_speech_unimrcp), which implements the Generic Speech Recognition API of Asterisk.
* Added internal configuration file (/etc/asterisk/res-speech-unimrcp.conf) with further reference to UniMRCP client configuration.
* Supported various recognition grammars including builtin grammar, text/uri-list, multipart/mixed and everything else.
* Added an option to preload grammars for a channel
* Added an option to set properties (MRCP header fields) for a channel

It also introduces a new and great application module (app_unimrcp) gracefully contributed and actively maintained by J.W.F. Thirion <derik@molo.co.za> Molo Afrika Speech Technologies (Pty) Ltd.

Asterisk dialplan applications are:
* MRCPSynth - text to speech,
* MRCPRecog - speech recognition


The released package can be downloaded from
