Visual Voice from Stylus Innovation

• Platform: Microsoft Windows
• Description: Visual Voice is a toolkit for building Windows-based voice processing and telephony applications including interactive voice response (e.g. touch-tone banking), fax-on-demand, and voice mail. Visual Voice can be used to add voice recognition to your telephony applications.
  Voice Recognition (VR) Support for Visual Voice is exposed as a standard VBX control and provides one or more voice recognition "resources" to your application. Applications can dynamically assign resources across several voice lines. Voice recognition is either "discrete" or "continuous". Discrete recognition is slightly more accurate and requires the speaker to pause briefly between words. Continuous recognition provides a natural way to enter information by speaking without pauses. Three configurations are supported:

  Software-Only Solution

  The software only solution uses Telaccount's SpeechEasy technology for discrete recognition using your PC's CPU. A vocabulary is included with digits, basic command words and more.

  Hardware-Assisted Solution with Dialogic AEB boards

  Discrete voice recognition in over 25 languages using Dialogic D/41D voice boards and the Dialogic VR/40 board. Vocabularies are included with digits, basic command words, voice mail vocabulary and more.

  Hardware-Assisted Solution with Dialogic PEB boards.

  Use the VR control with any Dialogic PEB-based voice board, such as the D/12x or D/24x, to access voice recognition resources from your phone lines. This requires a Dialogic VRP board with either 1 to 4 VRM/40 modules (4 channel discrete voice recognition modules) and/or 1 to 4 VRM/2C modules (2 channel continuous voice recognition modules). You can have up to 4 modules on each VRP: 4 VRM/40s for 16 channels of discrete voice recognition; 4 VRM/2Cs for 8 channels of continuous recognition; or a combination. Over 25 languages supported. Includes vocabularies as described above.
