mvion (www.mvion.com), a wireless infrastructure software developer, today announced it has formed a technology alliance with VerbalTek (www.verbaltek.com), a developer of speech recognition technologies for mobile devices and m-commerce. Under the terms of agreement, mvion's enterprise customers using its Mobile Navigator(TM) will be offered the opportunity to integrate VerbalTek's VerbalNET Distributed Speech Recognition (DSR) technology into their wireless solution.
"Teaming with VerbalTek provides our customers with a complete wireless and voice enabled solution," said Rubel Ahsan, mvion's co-founder and CEO. "By combining voice activated queries with screen displayed results, mobile users will be able to navigate large information data bases using voice commands, avoiding manually inputting data on the keyboards of small mobile devices."
mvion's Mobile Navigator enables mobile users to access data wirelessly, and provides dynamic, real-time interactive menus that help users quickly navigate through vast amounts of information. These menus, or "smart questions," are displayed to the mobile user, allowing the user to drill-down and find the relevant information that he or she is seeking with the fewest commands possible. By integrating VerbalNET's distributed speech recognition technology, mobile users will be able to input voice commands to their handheld devices when prompted by menus from the Mobile Navigator. The results are then displayed in the correct viewing format of the mobile user's device. The combined solution can reduce the time it takes to input data on a handheld device.
"The Mobile Navigator is a perfect complimentary product for our VerbalNET DSR application," said Alan Beale, vice president of sales and marketing for VerbalTek. "In addition to enterprise businesses, this combined product offers a unique solution for foreign markets such as Asia, where character input is extremely difficult and voice as an input method is highly desired."
