Newark, NJ (PRWEB) July 19, 2012
iSpeech Inc. today unveiled iSpeech Home, a voice solution for connected home device manufacturers, OEMs, and service operators. iSpeech Home will allow consumers to easily control their televisions, home entertainment systems, lighting, heating, ventilation, irrigation, security systems, refrigerators, washers and dryers and other household appliances by voice, through natural language commands. Leveraging iSpeechs cloud, embedded and hybrid, human quality text to speech and speech recognition technology, iSpeech Home eliminates the challenge of a complicated user interface typically associated with home automation.
We believe speech is the user interface of the future, said Yaron Oren, Chief Operating Officer at iSpeech. Siri has done an amazing job of bringing this vision to life on the iPhone, and we are helping bring it to more applications, more platforms and new markets such as the connected home.
The iSpeech Home platform has been built on top of a hybrid-embedded and server speech recognition architecture that allows for improved response times and availability of service when compared to a network-only solution. When combined with iSpeechs human quality text to speech, the platform transforms natural voice commands into a conversational experience with artificial intelligence. iSpeech currently supports 26 languages and can support voices commands such as the following:
Watch ESPN or Find movies starring Tom Hanks
Record American Idol
Turn on stereo and play Lady Gaga
Set temperature in house to 70 degrees or Whats the temperature in the house now?
Turn off the lights in the living room
Turn on the alarm
The release of iSpeech Home follows the companys success in the mobile market and serves as a springboard for its speech technology. Launched in August of 2011, iSpeechs mobile development platform is now widely used by Fortune 500 companies and over 13,000 developers and includes popular mobile apps from Hearst, Telenav, SpeaktoIt, iTranslate, Vocre and many more. iSpeech-owned apps, including DriveSafe.ly®, iSpeech Translator, Caller ID Reader® and iSpeech Obama have been downloaded over 30 million times.
