Benchmark testing on the joint solution indicates state-of-the-art recognition accuracy in German and the best compilation times on the market for very large grammars.
Paris and Heidelberg, September 13th 2004 - voice robots, a technological pioneer and market leader in the voice portal industry, and telisma, a leading European speech technologies editor, announce the conclusion of a worldwide retailer agreement
True to its quality-oriented philosophy, voice robots chose to integrate teliSpeech – telisma’s latest networked speech recognition technology - in its IVR platform robot 5 to increase its capabilities and give customers a wider choice of high-quality speech recognition.
Graham Lewis, voice robots CEO says:
“Our overall impression of teliSpeech is very good. The integration of teliSpeech was very simple, fast and smooth. Our benchmarking with other ASR engines showed state-of-the-art recognition rates in German, as well as outstanding performance in grammar compilation, especially with regard to very large grammars.
Such performance will in fact be key to the development of any future joint applications planned with teliSpeech in the SMB market.
It is exactly what the market has needed for some time. Until now there has been very little choice in recognition engines for top end applications, especially in German. teliSpeech changes all that – customers now have greater choice, which can only be good for the market in the long term.”
Laurent Balaine, telisma CEO:
“The close partnership we have built up with voice robots and its appraisals of our German mean a lot to us given that the German-speaking European market is a key target for our international development.
Being focused on delivering best of breed speech recognition for pre-packaged voice-enabled solutions such as those offered by voice robots is the essence of our strategy”.
The first boxed products based on teliSpeech are due to be launched later in September. The new application suite will include auto-attendant, voice mail, calendar and name dialing modules.
