UK – Spain, March 06th, 2009 – I6NET provider of 3G/IP IVR / IVVR VoiceXML communications components for Asterisk and VoxIQ, the innovative UK company that is set to revolutionise the speech market, have combined the VoxIQ technology with I6NET VXI* platform.
As the VXI* VoiceXML interpreter works directly with the Asterisk PBX, not only can users of the open source PBX run VoiceXML applications in the same server, they can also offer these powerful, scalable solutions at an affordable cost. The VXI* VoiceXML browser gives the ability to rapidly develop and deploy innovative voice and video applications via IP, PSTN, and 3G-H324M networks. VXI* is fully compliant with the W3C’s VoiceXML 2.0+ specification and is integrated with automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech software to enable advanced voice and video solutions, and real-time video calling applications.
The VoxIQ product uses Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) through I6NET VXI* to eavesdrop on a conversation between people while providing support such as filling in forms automatically or displaying data in line with the changing conversation. It also uses ASR together with Text To speech (TTS) (synthetic speech) to allow conversation with a person in a new and intelligent way known as ‘conversational self-service’. VoxIQ uses expert systems techniques to control keyword spotting. The result is a new enabling technology that limits the number of keywords being searched for at any point in time, while removing any limitation on the overall lexicon. This makes the task simpler for the speech technology and results in a significant improvement in speech recognition.
I6NET’s VoiceXML platform enables companies to fully exploit the most advanced speech technologies on the market today from many TTS and ASR vendors. The company provides complete support of all the relevant standards and many highly innovative features, for the highest quality speech applications.
“VoxIQ chose to add I6NET VXI* to run our products as its open standards, superior quality and performance, makes it the perfect fit for our market leading enabling technology” said Archie Macaulay, CEO of VoxIQ. “As a valued integrator dedicated to fulfilling client requirements, I6NET is the ideal partner for VoxIQ Ltd. It helps us to grow the VoxIQ brand and raise industry awareness of Continuous Speech Solutions.”
“The VoxIQ product is a highly innovative product that delivers superior, intelligent services,” said Iván Sixto, I6NET’s CEO. “We are delighted that VoxIQ has chosen our VXI* platforms. As soon as I6NET and VoxIQ were introduced, we start working immediately to increase the business opportunities for this highly innovative product. I6NET is now opening up to VoxIQ all the Asterisk market and the support for more TTS and ASR vendors.”
