June 20th, 2011, Madrid, Spain. We are pleased to announce the availability of Lumenvox Text-to-Speech (TTS) connector to the VXI* VoiceXML browser for Asterisk platforms. It’s new TTS option but it’s really interesting because Lumenvox is able to provide both ASR and TTS engines for VXI*. In 2008, It was the first Speech Recognition provider for Asterisk and the first one running with the VXI* VoiceXML browser too.

Lumenvox TTS voices are available in: British English, American English, American Spanish with many more coming soon, e.g. French, Australian English, German.

More information about TTS connectors for VXI* here.

Speech Recogntion is a key component for voice portal services but most of time business and resources requirements doesn’t match with service needs. Our partner LumenVox‘s new subscription licensing allows you to access its fully featured speech recognition software. To use a subscription license, you will need to have Internet access on your VXI* platforms in order to access the Internet-based LumenVox license server. The actual speech recognition will be performed by your machines, meaning all you transmit to and from LumenVox’s data center are license requests. This ensures minimal bandwidth use, but does require that you run your own speech servers.

Thanks to Lumenvox Speech Recognition SaaS, new Voice Service Business Models are now possible and this kind of approach fit very well with Cloud Interactive Telephony Projects powered by VXI* VoiceXML platforms.

“Add the power of speech to your VoiceXML applications with LumenVox Speech Engine 9.0 and VXI* browser Today”

Now you can purchase, download and install accurate and affordable Speech Recognition on Asterisk and VXI* in less then a day. The integration of the LumenVox Speech Engine with VXI* and the Asterisk telephony platform is one of the most exciting opportunities to recently emerge in the speech industry. Developers and service providers can now run thousands of existing VoiceXML (VXML) speech applications using the Speech Engine 9.0 on Asterisk and Linux.

Press release: Astricon 2008, October 23th – PRWEB

Madrid, Spain and San Diego, California (PRWEB) September 23, 2008 — I6NET, a company specializing in Interactive Voice & Video Response technologies, and LumenVox, a speech recognition software company, announced today the release of VXI* 3.1. VXI* enables thousands of existing VXML applications to run on the Asterisk PBX platform, and new speech recognition solutions to be built affordably.

“The release of VXI*, powered by the LumenVox Speech Engine, allows the large pool of VXML developers to run existing speech applications on the Asterisk platform or to develop new ones that are standards-based,” commented Bill Meisel, president of TMA Associates and Publisher & Editor of Speech Strategy News. “The widespread use of the Asterisk platform presents an opportunity for VoiceXML developers to increase adoption of speech solutions in cost-sensitive markets. And who isn’t sensitive to cost?”

We are very pleased with ease of development with VXML and integration between i6NET and LumenVox technologies, and will have a very robust platform to support the strong growth and global roll-out of the MyVocal service.

MyVocal, a mobile audio service that provides audio content, such as podcasts, travel guides, audio-books, etc., is now adding speech recognition, allowing subscribers of MyVocal to use the service without a single key press. “It was a natural choice for us to select I6NET’s VXI* VoiceXML browser and the LumenVox Speech Engine on the open source Asterisk platform,” said Alexey Patsko, CEO and founder of MyVocal. “We are very pleased with ease of development with VXML and integration between i6NET and LumenVox technologies, and will have a very robust platform to support the strong growth and global roll-out of the MyVocal service.”

“SMB and Fortune 500 companies that service millions of users on Asterisk platforms can now run VXML-based speech solutions,” said Jim Webster, Director of Technology Partnerships at Digium. “This allows both developers and Asterisk users to take advantage of low-cost and robust speech solutions, with the economies of scale Asterisk provides.”

The LumenVox Speech Engine is the only speech recognition software natively integrated with Asterisk and distributed and supported by Digium. VXI* 3.1 is available from I6NET at http://www.i6net.com.
