ART Releases Name Dialing Solution LONDON, ENGLAND - ART Advanced Recognition Technologies Inc., developer of natural Human User Interface technologies for the mobile world, announced the launch of smARTspeak XG - the speaker independent name dialing solution to be embedded in wireless mobile devices. With dynamic recognition based on phoneme identification, the smARTspeak XG needs no training to provide name dialing functionality in response to the user's verbal command. The result is that no more time needs to be spent recording names into your phone book, or browsing/searching for contacts - and no more trying to remember exactly how you phrased your original entry. Now, once a name and number are stored in the device, saying `Call John Smith in his office' activates the device to call John Smith's office number. Because the smARTspeak XG is speaker independent, it recognizes the command of any user with equal accuracy. Thus multiple users can now access an address book by requesting a name they want to call. "The smARTspeak XG is a boon to every mobile device user," said Eran Aharonson, ART's President. "Finally, multiple users can pick up a device and instruct it to dial using any phrasing that they choose. And the same technology allows the dynamic launch of any command feature with the utmost simplicity."
