More Information

You may explore the capabilities of Chant software for 30 days. To continue to use any Chant software product after 30 days, you must purchase a license for the software or stop using the software and remove it from your system.

The Chant software license is a single end-user license. Each developer who installs and uses Chant software to develop applications must have their own license.

It is perpetual and gives you the right to construct executable applications that use the applicable class libraries and distribute them with executable applications without royalty obligations to Chant.

In addition, it includes a one-year subscription which provides one year of free upgrades, including bug fixes and new features, and one year of support.

Before your subscription expires, you can purchase a renewal subscription to receive another year of updates and support. If you choose not to renew, you can continue using the last version you are eligible to use.

There are eight products that may be licensed. Each has a corresponding subscription renewal for subsequent upgrades and support after the first year.

The Chant Developer Workbench license includes Audio Search, GrammarKit, KinesicsKit, LexiconKit, ProfileKit, SpeechKit, Speech Manager, Talk&Listen, VoiceMarkupKit, and VoiceXMLKit class libraries.

Alternatively, you may license GrammarKit, KinesicsKit, LexiconKit, ProfileKit, SpeechKit, VoiceMarkupKit, and VoiceXMLKit class libraries independently.

You may purchase a Chant software license or renewal subscription on-line at the Chant store or through your preferred software reseller.
