[Asterisk-Users] Speech Recognition

[dean collins]

Trevor,
I used to sell Nuance when I worked for Fujitsu. When I first came
across Angel.com about 12 months ago I knew this was the right way to
approach NLVR.

The Nuance costs are unrealistically astronomical mainly due to the
'high touch' consulting fees that are imposed on this kind of rollout.

Angel.com being web based and delivered is able to deliver 90% of the
solution for 20% of the costs can only be a good thing.



Cheers,
Dean

For that matter, check out Tellme.  1-800-555-TELL   

Speaker-independent automatic speech recognition, when implemented
properly,
is VERY good right now.  However, good ASR is usually fairly expensive.
Do
not confuse desktop speech recognition applications like Dragon Dictate
and
Via Voice with telco-grade ASR engines like Nuance,
SpeechPearl/Speechworks,
Loquendo, etc.

Tellme has a developer platform that you can use to experiment with
VoiceXML, TTS, and ASR.  You create the "voice applications" on their
website, and can access them via the PSTN or SIP.  

Check out:

I, for one, would love to have the ability to use ASR engines with
Asterisk.
I think a good start would be a Sphinx/Asterisk integration project.  

		Sincerely,
		Trevor Hammonds
