The smARTspeak XG is an embedded speaker independent name dialing solution designed for wireless phones and mobile devices. The smARTspeak XG is speaker independent, meaning it can be operated by any user with no voice training of the device. In addition, it incorporates: continuous digit dialing, speaker independent command and control, and trainable continuous digit dialing for custom languages.
