“IBM is bent on teaching Linux a new trick: how to speak.”

“IBM recently released seven voice recognition products, one of
which loans its voice to the Linux operating system (OS).”

“IBM ViaVoice Dictation for Linux is commercially available and
offers voice recognition technology for the Linux platform,
according to a company statement. ViaVoice for Linux lets users
dictate and read documents using natural human speech.”

The voice platform includes open standards-based, scalable
products for the mobile device, Web application server, call center
and Linux marketplace.
A speech function allows the use of
natural speech for mobile Internet communications while maintaining
the low cost of Web transmission.”
