Vocalise

Moving to facilitate the widespread adoption of the voice as a viable, mainstream input device, Analog Devices, Inc. through a collaborative relationship with Intel is helping to produce a new desktop PC platform that eliminates the core obstacles to reliable voice input. These obstacles include: acoustic and electronic noise interfering with voice input signals, expensive far-field microphones, and end-user objection to wearing headsets. Speech-based technologies have entered the mainstream with a resurgence of interest in VoIP applications, such as Net2Phone, NetMeeting and .NET Messenger, and in the use of voice command and control for data mining. With the availability of Intel's D845EBT desktop board, which features ADI's SoundMAX(R) Cadenza(TM) Digital Audio System with built-in noise cancellation technology and support for Andrea Electronics' Superbeam(R) Array Microphone-PC OEMs and systems integrators, can now offer a desktop PC platform designed for speech-enabled applications.
