CERTIFICATION WITH ERICSSON OPENS HUGE MARKET TO VOCALIS
Vocalis, the voice technology and call processing specialist,
today announces that its SPEECHtelr platform and voice
activated dialling service has been certified by Ericsson
Mobile Radio Systems to fully work with Ericsson GSM 900
network, a world leader in mobile telephony.
Voice activated dialling enables people to dial a number
simply by saying the name of the person with whom they wish to
speak. This replaces the need to key in numbers, or scroll
through stored address books, which has been recently
acknowledged to be a potential safety risk for motorists who
regularly use mobile phones while driving.
Jeremy Peckham, chief executive officer of Vocalis, comments:
"This certification opens up a huge market for Vocalis, and is
yet a further endorsement by Ericsson of our ability to
provide innovative voice activated telephony solutions. With
increasing demand for new value added services that
differentiate networks, together with increasing legislation
on the use of car phones, we believe voice activated dialling
will become a standard operator service. Together with
Ericsson, we are now at the forefront of this evolving
market."
Anders Orsen, Product Manager at Ericsson Mobile Radio Systems
AB adds "The Ericsson GSM 900 network is already in use in
over 100 networks throughout the world. By certifying
Vocalis, Ericsson is now in a position to offer these a fully
approved voice activated dialling service they can easily
implement in their networks. We project the European and Far
Eastern GSM markets alone for voice activated dialling to be
worth in excess of #300m by the year 2002."
