"Fonix Corporation, an innovative communications and technology company providing integrated telecommunications services and value-added speech technologies, announces the newest version of our proprietary automatic speech recognition (ASR) SDK. Fonix VoiceIn� 4.0 SE (Standard Edition) is immediately available to developers looking to implement cutting-edge ASR-driven applications to devices and products."The Speech Recognition SDK which is compatible with Smartphones and Pocket PCs, will enable the next generation of hands free software to recognize voice commands. Voice recognition for mobile devices makes sense, but the current implementations are mostly limited to dialing phone numbers. Which is often easier to do the regular way. I can't wait for the day when all the mobile apps have not only some kind of speech recognition but can also speak back to me. I want to be able to say "Open Inbox..Read New Mails", while driving my car. 8) For now, I hope the pricing/licensing model is convenient for the ISVs, to quickly adopt this technology. What do you think, are voice recognition and speech capabilities worth the hype? Or do you think it is cumbersome? And what about the social implications, people talking on the phones in a subway is bad enough, and thanks to this technology we will be bothered by people 'talking to' the phone.
