Extractions: Skip navigation speech technology uses analogue signals carried through open air, enabling users to communicate in real- time without the use of computers or mobile phones. "As most people, I have used e-mail as my primary means of communication for many years and accepted that it is not always 100 percent effective," says Trond Werner Hansen, Opera desktop developer and inventor of SoundWave, via a Technical Preview of the new technology. "Opera SoundWave has opened up a whole new world for me, enabling me to get things done faster and more efficiently than before - and it is remarkably easy to use." More than an efficient way to communicate without keyboard input, Opera's new speech technology solves the problem of frequent misunderstandings in non-contextual communication. Opera researchers realized this technology can incorporate dynamic emoticons far more advanced than those typically used in e-mails and instant messaging. Platform-independent, the real-time speech technology from Opera seamlessly integrates with mass-market services like dating and shopping.
Opera Sings With IBM's Speech Technology Opera Sings with IBM s speech technology New version of Opera Embeds ViaVoicefrom IBM. Oslo, Norway and San Francisco, CA Mar . 23, 2004 http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2004/03/23/
Extractions: New version of Opera Embeds ViaVoice from IBM Today at AVIOS , SpeechTEK 2004, Opera Software announced the upcoming release of a multimodal desktop browser that incorporates IBM's Embedded ViaVoice speech technology. By leveraging IBM's voice libraries in this version of Opera, users can navigate, request information and even fill in Web forms using speech and other forms of input in the same interaction. "Voice is the most natural and effective way we communicate. In the years to come it will greatly facilitate how we interact with technology," says Christen Krogh, VP Engineering, Opera Software ASA . "By making this technology available today for the wider Web audience, the serious work of voice-enabling the Web can commence." While traditional HTML pages continue to be the foundation of the Web, advances in the function, speed and size of both computers and mobile devices, along with today's diversity of users, has increased the demand for more flexible user interfaces. By building on this standardized foundation using XHTML +Voice ( X+V ), developers can add voice input and output to traditional, graphically based Web pages and achieve natural voice functionality. For example, Opera's presentation tool, Opera Show, can empower users to replace Microsoft PowerPoint, creating light-weight, Internet standards-based presentations that can also make post-publishing a breeze. By combining Opera Show with voice, can allow users in the future be able to give presentations and tell Opera via voice commands to turn to the next slide without approaching the computer and pressing the 'Page Down' keyboard key.
Warehouse Management Voice Technology Solutions - Supply Chain Software: UK Reta BCP's Accord warehouse management system uses speech technology to provide voice directed picking, goods receiving, pallet movements, and stock checking. Fully integrated voice software enables realtime interaction with the system. http://www.bcpsoftware.com/solutions/voice/
Extractions: To be kept up to date with news and developments please provide your email address subscribe unsubscribe Voice directed hands-free warehouse computing The system uses speech recognition and speech synthesis to allow workers to communicate verbally with the system. Workers use a wireless, wearable computer with a headset and microphone, which links to the server via a radio frequency network. In voice directed picking, for example, the order picker is instructed by voice, via the headset, what to pick and where to pick it. He then verbally confirms his actions back to the system through the microphone. The Accord Voice modules offer you the flexibility of taking them as part of a full Accord supply chain implementation or as a stand-alone WMS to interface to third party Order Processing and Stock systems. If you already have a suitable Warehouse Management System we can supply the Voice modules on their own, to interface to that WMS.
