“Free Speech” for Asterisk Eliminates Pricing Barriers for Speech Recognition

 
 
LumenVox, an innovator of speech recognition technology, announced today that Digium Inc., the Asterisk company, now offers a fully-enabled Speech Starter Kit included in the Asterisk Business Edition at no additional charge. The Speech Starter Kit is also available to the Asterisk open source community for only $245.
 
“To enable widespread adoption of speech recognition solutions, we had to think differently. Through innovative collaboration with Digium, users can now easily develop Asterisk-based speech solutions and proliferate the market,” said Gerd Graumann, director of business development at LumenVox.

“This directly addresses the need for an affordable speech solution for the Asterisk community, and provides a significant additional benefit for Asterisk Business Edition customers,”

said Jim Webster, director of software technologies at Digium. This is the first time that Digium has offered a fully integrated commercial speech recognition technology for Asterisk. To ensure seamless integration, Digium created a unique connector bridge to the LumenVox Speech Engine.

The Speech Starter Kit includes the connector bridge and one LumenVox Speech Engine port, and can be deployed directly on any supported Asterisk server. Asterisk users can purchase the Speech Starter Kit directly from Digium's website.

Test-drive the LumenVox speech recognition software at the upcoming VON show in Boston (www.von.com), at www.LumenVox.com or call 877-977-0707 and say “Demo.”
