February 22nd, 2007
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.
