Voice Control for MIDs

- Sierra Modro

One Voice Technologies As everyone eagerly awaits the first shipping MIDs, we have to appease ourselves with what news we can get, and this is an interesting nugget. One Voice Technologies, Inc. released an announcement today that they will be demoing voice control for MIDs at the Mobile World Congress conference next week. Obviously voice control has been a goal for many users for a long time. It will be great if One Voice is able to get a viable solution working on MIDs in time for the upcoming product launches.

As a side note, since Intel said before that there will be announcements of new MIDs at major conferences throughout 2008, maybe we'll get to see One Voice demoed on some new MID models. I'd volunteer to go to Mobile World Congress to check it out - the conference is in Barcelona. :-)

Thanks Sierra for the link to their site. It was really well done and I hope they can get it working.

I've always been a big proponent of voice over touch since growing up watching Star Trek:TNG. They seemed to have nailed the perfect scenario: address the computer, followed by a simple key-word/command (i.e. "Computer, locate Commander Riker"). Why our attempts and current uses can't be as simple is beyond me.

That's what the Intel proof of concept video for MIDs suggested but no one, as of yet, seems to have gotten the simplicity.
