Loquendo, SpeechVillage and Voxpilot launch the Silver Bullet solution,
a milestone for the speech technology market. The Silver Bullet solution
enables service developers and application designers to bring interactive
voice services to market faster than ever before and at greatly reduced
costs.
Silver Bullet is the outcome of a close collaboration
between three providers of state of the art technologies: the VoiceXML
IVR Server from Voxpilot, the outstanding Speech Recognition and
Text-To-Speech technology from Loquendo, and Speechdraw, the most
advanced development tool on the market, from Speechvillage.
Silver Bullet leverages proven open standards such
as VoiceXML and MRCP to deliver a high quality, powerful and flexible
solution. Silver Bullet is available in configurations of 12 and
24 ports in a single box and is expandable to thousands of ports.
Designed with both the short and long-term in mind, Silver Bullet
supports both ISDN and Voice Over IP (SIP) telecom interconnects.
The integrated AudioCodes gateway provides E1/T1 connectivity to
the PSTN.
Text to Speech brings truly natural sounding voices,
delivering high quality and truly expressive prompts for any application.
Speech Recognition technology is speaker-independent and reliably
recognizes large-scale vocabulary continuous speech, even in the
noisiest environments.
Speechdraw, a fully graphical, rule based, service creation environment
allowing development from DTMF up to complex, mixed initiative dialogues
with unparalleled ease, and more than 10 times faster than with
traditional approaches.
All this adds up to make Silver Bullet the most user-friendly and
easy to integrate platform available, suitable even for non-specialists,
enabling the deployment of high quality applications and allowing
a smooth migration from simple DTMF to advanced speech applications.
