According to the Microsoft SAPI (5.3 +) documentation, SAPI based applications "should" work on Windows Server 2008 "and newer" OS's.
I created a "Voice2Text" application (from SAPI 5.3), that takes in WAV audio files and produces text transcription files from them. This application works fine on Windows 7 and Windows 8.x.
I tried to run it on Windows Server 2012, but I get error 80004005 while creating the Voice Recognizer Context. I tried Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) just to see if that would work, but I get the same error.
Anyone know how to get SAPI applications to work on Windows Server (preferably 2012)???

Does anyone know how to get any help on how to program speech? There are at least 3 methods in Visual Studio, system.speech, microsoft speech, and using SAPI objects (COM?) directly. I can't find any current newsgroups or any way to get help from either Microsoft or the community. Can anyone help? Thanks!

You want to look at Microsoft's (poorly documented) pages at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ee125189(v=vs.85)
Do notice that many interfaces won't be present until you install Desktop Experience and the relevant SDK + runtime.
SAPI takes the SAPI SDK 5.1 (Microsoft never cared to release 5.4). I haven't gotten (free dictation) speech recognition to work with the Speech Server 11.x but it does work with SAPI - both speech recogntion and text to speech (TTS).
The next problem, of course, is multilingual support. AND - because only .wav and .wma are accepted by the speech recognizer, you'll want to find/build a component which enables conversion to/from other various formats. 80% of all searches are done from mobile devices now...so it's not even a (sane) option to leave out...
