"Ariadne Overview:
Ariadne is a Natural Language Processing Platform. Ariadne can enable natural language interactions between users and applications through the use of natural-language speech interfaces. Work on Ariadne is also being done to incorporate gesture recognition in the future.
As a platform, Ariadne can interact with other applications (both locally and over a network) through the use of the other applications API in conjunction with a Java or C# (C# support coming in January 2004) interface. Database interfaces currently work with Java and DAO (Data Access Objects) – support for ADO and SQL Server is also scheduled for testing in January 2004."
