"Voice goes Mainstream"
The voice compass team reveales future of Speech Applications at CeBIT 2008.
We make technology touchable and talk about exciting, up-to-date topics.

As a special highlight at CeBIT, we showcase a door that opens by a simple voice instruction. A computer system verifies the voice of the speaker by recognizing its unique biometric data. This can be compared to a fingerprint, but unlike the fingerprint voice can be transported easily through phone or Internet.
The application presented is based on the co-operational work of Voice.Trust, Bressner, Dorma, Genesys and Nuance, under the direction of Detlev Artelt, consultant and CEO of aixvox.

Also, the aixvox consultants wanted to know, how speech applications are received by B-2-B-customers. An international study was carried out and results are presented at CeBIT.

At CeBIT 2008 you find aixvox in hall 4, stand D64.
