Olidata, Italy's leading manufacturer of personal computers, and Loquendo, leading provider of speech technology, announce the launch of a ground-breaking and easy to use voice-controlled media center: Olidata Reglo Voice.

The solution has grown out of a partnership between Loquendo, providing the speech technology, and MOAI, providing the intelligent interface 'Speaky' - including remote-control unit with microphone and Push to Talk.

Olidata Reglo Voice Media Center is able to voice control any menu: through a user friendly interface enriched with dynamic, TTS-based feedback users can change TV channel, make a content-based search of the TV or video guide or program the video recorder. Additionally, they can select a piece of music, view their photos, access any multimedia file they have saved in the media centre, or manage, by voice, VoIP telephony.

The Olidata Reglo Voice Media Center is also ideally suited for use in the office: for setting up a slide show, making presentations, showing product demonstrations, publicity campaigns, etc.

The solution is based on a remote control Windows Vista™ compliant, enhanced with push-to-talk capabilities, and Loquendo ASR and TTS technology, integrated by the Speaky media centre application platform. It is currently available in US and UK English, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Polish, Chilean, and is undergoing expansion to other languages.

These new features complete the Olidata Reglo product line, known for its compactness - dimensions 4.2cm by 17cm by 22cm - its elegant design and noiseless operation.

"In this way Olidata have created a completely new and unique user experience," says Antonio Masenza, President of Olidata. "The intelligent, intuitive and user-friendly interface is able to bring alive, interactively, all the features of the Media Center, multimedia content and all the latest on-line music, film and TV."

"Loquendo always seeks to anticipate the latest trends in technology innovation," says Paolo Coppo, Vice President of Loquendo. " We are furthermore very pleased to be empowering a solution that will facilitate access to new technologies for all segments of the population."

The product will be presented by Olidata at the Cebit trade show in Hannover, 15-21 March 2007, in HALL 2 B-03.
