The integration of teliSpeech, telisma's voice recognition software, on the voice platform means that the user is able to control their web based video applications by simply using their voice. The award was presented on the final day of VOICE Days after the six finalists had presented their developments before a live audience. When the concluding vote was cast by the audience, Voiceflash was named as the ‘Best Live Contest 2009'. Each year, the best services development team is awarded for the interaction between the customer and the enterprise during a "live contest".Voiceflash is the combination of a Flash server and an innovative voice platform developed by MATERNA which runs the flash animations that are designed together with dotkomm. By integrating teliSpeech on to this voice platform, the customers' voice input is converted into individual entries. These are then used to control the interactive video interface. The user controls their web-based video applications individually and interactively by the speaking through their headset or the microphone of their notebook and/or PC.
