Media Resource Control Protocol(MRCP) Introduction
MRCP is a protocol specifically designed to address the need for client control of media processing resources such as ASR and TTS engines.
It is a text based protocol very similar to RTSP or SIP.
The current draft depends on a protocol like RTSP or SIP to setup the media session between the client and the server.
It was designed with the specific goal of being extendable in the future to address SI/SV.
It supports efficiently allocating these resources in parallel so that they feed from and into a single media pipe.
It has multiple interoperable implementations.
