Speech (or voice) technology is a well-developed field when one considers the international community. There is a wide variety of academic and industrial software. The majority of them assumes a recognizer or synthesizer is available, and can be programmed through an API. In contrast, there are no such resources in public domain for Brazilian Portuguese. This work discusses some of these issues and compares SAPI and JSAPI, which are APIs promoted by Microsoft and Sun, respectively. We also present two examples: a CALL application using SAPI-based speech synthesis in English and Portuguese, recognition in English, and visual agents; and a JSAPI-based software that incorporates speech synthesis and recognition to IRC through Java APIs.porAcesso AbertoVozSínteseReconhecimentoSAPIJSAPISoeechSynthesisRecognitionDissertaçãoCNPQ::ENGENHARIAS::ENGENHARIA ELETRICA::TELECOMUNICACOES::SISTEMAS DE TELECOMUNICACOES
