Opera Sings With IBM's Speech Technology Opera press releases. Opera Sings with IBM s speech technology New version of Opera Embeds ViaVoice from IBM. Oslo, Norway and San Francisco, CA Mar . 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.

Speech Technology Grows Up Advanced speech technology has moved to the mainstream just ask Bob DuPont of Thrifty Car Rental, who expects to save $1 million next year using voice http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2001/0820apps.html
Extractions: Network World, 08/20/01 Advanced speech technology has moved to the mainstream - just ask Bob DuPont of Thrifty Car Rental, who expects to save $1 million next year using voice recognition software. Voice recognition technology is gaining popularity for a couple of important reasons. First, it can save money at call centers. A recent study by AMR Research says call costs range from $1 to $10 each depending on call length and an agent's skill level. Speech recognition software can reduce that cost to as low as 20 cents per call. Second, the technology is advancing rapidly, which lets users deploy it in new wireless and business applications. In the coming months, voice technology will only get better, observers say. Industry experts and vendors expect support for VoiceXML, a specification that would enable speech-based applications and online information to become phone and voice accessible, and the infusion of speech recognition in wireless devices, such as cell phones and PDAs, to flourish.

"Speech control is a perfect extension for our users, requiring no formal training and allowing participants to have more control and maintain an even more productive flow during a meeting." With ScanSoft's speech technology, iPower users can now control audio, video and data content, such as placing and answering calls, navigating through applications, and giving presentations, through the power of speech. Additionally, peripheral equipment, such as VCRs, DVD players, cameras, etc., can be managed by simple spoken commands. "Speech is the most easy to use, natural interface known today," said Alan Schwartz, general manager of embedded speech solutions at ScanSoft.

Extractions: Date: cancelled due to lack of participants (as of March 4, 2003) Location: University of Joensuu/Finland The Speech Technology for Linguistics/Linguistics for Speech Technology conference (STL 03) will be held as a small international meeting for the discussion of speech technology and its relation to linguistics. Current speech technology applications development often involves both speech engineering specialists and researchers from traditionally more humanities-oriented backgrounds like phonetics and linguistics. The Department of Linguistics and Language Technology at the University of Joensuu wishes to invite researchers from or interested in the area of speech technology to a weekend of talks and discussions about the interaction of speech technology and linguistics. Our central question will be twofold: At a time when several nationally funded interdisciplinary research projects in Finland approach their completion and a national language technology teaching network has been established, a debate of these questions seems all the more justified and interesting. To inspire discussions, the following keynote speakers have been invited:
Extractions: But you don't have to take my word for it, or the assurance of any other analysts, as many of us have been saying for years that this market is primed to take off. Predictions of great growth are still out there - Dataquest recently pronounced that the global voice business market will grow from $656 million in 2002 to $3.1 billion in 2008. And Gartner came in with a more conservative estimate, that the speech software license market is expected to grow from $127.5 million in 2002 to more than $258 million in 2007. We've seen similar claims for years, but the current projections have a chance of being directionally accurate because of some significant changes in the speech and voice market place. Here's what's happening: User organizations are starting to take interest - 2253 people attended the September 2003 SpeechTek show in New York. 66% more people paid for the show in 2003 than in the prior year and 65% of the attendees were end users. In previous shows, the majority of attendees were vendors.
