Today, we are pleased to present a new Speech Recognition Connector for Google ASR.
Previously, in 2010, we had added a Text-to-Speech Connector for Google TTS, named CURL and already available for VXI* platforms.
Online Speech Recognition services are becoming very interesting for mobile phones and applications like Apple Siri (iOS) and Google Voice (Android). Obviously, these services over the Cloud don’t provide a realtime speech recognition and require an internet access to work but you get easily all speech recognized words in a simple text chain from a pre-recorded message. This approach is more and more accepted by users thanks to the iPhone 4S experience with Siri. Of course, the grammar structure is not really powerful compare to a VoiceXML-ASR realtime integration but for trainings and demo services, it could be very useful. Now, you can use Google TTS/ASR from VXI* to develop a smart VoiceXML phone service.
VoiceXML Code Example:
Downloads:
Warnings:
- Google ASR is an online free service for now.
- Future availability is under Google terms and conditions.
- An Internet access is required for each speech recognition request.

A new important step has been taken for Asterisk thanks to UniMRCP, The Open Source MRCP Client Project witch provides a standard (MRCP) speech interface for all Asterisk servers. Now your VXI* VoiceXML browser for Asterisk can run more ASR engines for your VoiceXML applications as never before. Many Speech Recognition components were not yet available for Asterisk’s Speech Recognition API but with MRCP v1 and v2 most relevant vendors are ready for your IVR / IVVR.
Our team is currently committed to help UniMRCP project to improve Speech Recognition integration for many engines like Loquendo, Nuance, Lumenvox, Vestec… Our main outcome is to get the best open standard MRCP Client for Asterisk / VXI*, delivering all packages with an auto-installer to setup easily your IVR solution based on VXI*.

TMCnet recently interviewed Ivan Sixto, co-founder and president of I6NET and Fakhri Karray, co-founder and president of Vestec about Asterisk-based ASR solutions. Both companies are now entering in the mainstream as a lower-cost, more flexible and obsolescence-resistant alternative to traditional proprietary software for IVR.

Since a few months ago, It was said the possibility that Verbio, the spanish speech technology manufacturer creates a built –in grammar with all the regions, cities and streets of Spain. It definitely has become reality, and has been chosen on October 1st, 2010 to celebrate the official product launch: Verbio Street Built-in Spain. The launch campaign includes a discount value until January 2011. I6NET is pleased to present this new smart option for your IVR applications running over VXI* platforms!
Moreover, as they have got used to us, they have exceeded expectations including phonetic variants and the different languages used in each municipality. This has been achieved thanks to its multilingual voice recognition system.
Verbio has trusted in Deyde, with whom he has established an alliance to develop this product, for having the Spanish street grammar constantly updated. It is going to be updated every three months, including new streets and names within Spanish territory. Next step will be the Portuguese street grammar where both have important customers.
The product licensing is presented by regions and packages, offering a wide variety. It is licensed by the number of channels in the VXI* VoiceXML IVR where Verbio ASR runs, being the only valid ASR engine.
Congratulation to Verbio, this new built-in street grammar will enable smarter voice applications for mobility services. Remember, a voice user interface (VUI) for easy location runs with any phone and for any user… just say where you are, the IVR will understand you!
