VOCALIS ANNOUNCES JOINT DEVELOPMENT
WITH ERICSSON AND TELECOM EIREANN
Vocalis, the Cambridge based speech recognition Telephony
Company, announced today a further order for SPEECHtel, it's
intelligent network peripheral platform. The order is from
Ericsson's Network Intelligence Design Centre in Dublin.
The order by Ericsson is for joint development of advanced
speech driven Intelligent Network services, with Telecom
Eireann, an existing Ericsson and Vocalis customer. The
project will develop applications that will exploit the
power of speech recognition. These speech applications will
replace tone-based services that force the general public to
navigate complex multi-layer menus, and which are
increasingly becoming unacceptable. Also to be investigated
will be the most efficient Intelligent Network (IN)
architecture to deploy these services.
"Given the choice, people prefer to speak," comments Andy
Walker, Product Marketing Manager for Vocalis. "For the
first time Network Operators will be able to rapidly
prototype and deploy speech applications using SPEECHtel's
powerful development tools."
Pat Foley, Account Director at Ericsson explains "Having
worked with Vocalis before we were confident in their
products and services. Using their leading-edge technology
we will be able to investigate the most efficient and user
friendly ways of deploying speech driven applications in the
telephone network."
Ericsson and Telecom Eireann plan to start work immediately
on implementing a service that will use Vocalis' leading
edge speech recognition technology to provide an Intelligent
Network based call routing capability.
