Consumer speech and vision technology provider Sensory Inc. has announced multi-language capabilities in its speech recognition solutions. Boasting support for languages used in 41 countries across the globe, Sensory’s technology functions in English, Mandarin, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Turkish, Swedish and Portuguese.
That above list includes the world’s three most highly spoken languages, Mandarin, English and Spanish – making the hands-free solutions from Sensory applicable to billions of speakers. Support for Polish, Cantonese, Greek and Indian English is currently in development.
Sensory’s TrulyHandsfree Voice Control technology is among the products that benefit from this language catalog. As the world goes increasingly mobile with the proliferation of consumer electronics like the smartphone and tablet, new methods of interfacing are staring the spotlight with the touchscreen and virtual keyboard.
Hands free interface is a positive step toward realizing the Mobile Promise: that mobility is truly the most convenient option for all things digital and online.
Not just for voice-interface, the company’s technology can also verify speaker identity in most of the listed languages. Sensory specifically underlines that this functionality is available in Mandarin, a language spoken by over 2 billion people around the world.
Sensory’s news the second announcement of Mandarin Chinese language support for a voice recognition software in as many weeks. Previously, Mobile ID World reported that VoiceVault, a voice biometrics company with a strong focus on the developer market, has announced that its phrase-based voice authentication is now available in the pervasive language.
