7. Recent Trends in Voice Technology  Noise Suppression Technologies – Improve Voice Recognition in All Environments  Advancement of Voice Engine quality  Dramatic Reductions in Development Time and Requisite Custom Code

8. The Technical Challenge Speech Recognition (or Synthesis) Engine Your Application Enterprise Information Database Lots of time and code Extremely tight coupling Maintenance nightmare Difficult deployment Additional Custom Code (you’ve got to add)

9. Pre-Existing Alternatives  Developer Tools: proprietary API's offered free or at a nominal charge by Microsoft and IBM to aide in connecting ONLY their respective voice engines - developers still required to write thousands of lines of custom code ( ex. C+, Java, etc.) to complete application connection.  Other –  Paper-based systems  Customizable phone-based voice portals  Bar-code scanner systems  Desktop IVR’s  Services based custom solutions

10. Dedicated Speech Middleware Methodology Your Application Enterprise Information Database Very Little Code Easy to Maintain Easy to Deploy Mobile Client Speech Engine Speech Objects
