3. The Euro Converter "answers" the phone

To demonstrate potential applications, Loquendo presents its own "euroconversion" tool. To try the "voice converter", all you need to do is call (+39) 02/575220008 or 199.11.66.33.08 and say the amount you wish to convert in Italian, specifying whether it is in Lire or in Euro. You will immediately hear one of Loquendo's synthetic voices - which will have carried out the conversion - tell you the corresponding amount.
The Euro converter is a demonstration of the breadth of range of quick and easy-to-use voice solutions developed by Loquendo for the realization of innovative voice-enables services available over the phone -be it wireline or wireless- at anytime and from anywhere.



4. Loquendo equips Giovanni Soldini's "Fila Tri" Tri-hull with speech apparatus

Loquendo equipped the tri-hull "Fila Tri" with a speech apparatus for voice-enabled interface with a number of the onboard navigation instruments, which was used by Giovanni Soldini in the "Jacques Vabre" transoceanic race.
It is in fact a "virtual assistant" that by means of a synthetic voice promptly "obeys any order" and enables Giovanni Soldini to give a series of voice commands, at any time and from any position on the boat, such as "veer left" to adjust the course of the tri-hull, or even "navigation lights", to switch the mast navigation lights on and off.
