“Speech technology specialists Lernout and Hauspie will this
week demonstrate a prototype of a PDA that responds to spoken
commands.”
“L&H is promoting speech as a natural input method,
especially for mobile users. The prototype uses the Intel
Strong Arm chip, Linux as the operating system and a noise
cancelling input microphone.”
“The device will demonstrate three speech technologies: natural
language recognition for simple commands, Voice Express for
dictation and an embedded version of L&H’s text-to-speech
engine RealSpeak for playing back information.”
