VoiceBox is said to offer the world's first conversational voice search and navigation platform that enables users to access information from any mobile device over any IP network without memorizing specific commands or navigating through tedious menus. The VoiceBox Navigator Platform is offered to the automotive, digital home, mobile phone, and VoIP markets.
They announced at CES a multiyear alliance with XM Radio to co-develop a voice-search-enabled reference platform that will allow drivers to simply “say it and get it.”
The platform’s speech recognition algorithms are designed to determine the context and intent from conversational speech, enabling consumers to speak in free-form language. Users can ask for directions to the nearest Italian restaurant, check on traffic for the daily commute, make hands-free phone calls, navigate through hundreds of channels on satellite radio, or search for songs and artists on their iPod intuitively and safely. The difference between VoiceBox and other voice-recognition tools, according to the company, is context. The software tries to guess when it doesn't understand something.
How about voice activated public art?
